Where the Rhine and the Moselle Meet

You can see by the foggy and overcast sky that the weather wasn't great.
It wasn't raining but it was very chilly.
The weather forecast was for it to clear up by the afternoon.
We kept our fingers crossed because that was when we would head up the Rhine to see the twenty castles that can be viewed from the river.
For the morning we had a wonderful tour of Koblenz, a very pretty, small city with many fun statues for me to take photos of.
This shot was taken looking down the river from where that huge statue of William I was.

Well done even if the weather didn't cooperate.

NIce capture of the confluence of these two rivers. I almost got lost walking in Koblenz.

It does look cold and damp. Hopefully it cheers up. V

It looks lovely, but for the tourist a clear day would be ideal. V

Though it was not ideal weather, but a superb composition! V

A Historical area beautifully captured with the fog. I like that modern RV campground across the river.

Love the mood. Looks like a major RV campground on the left.

This is actually where the Mosel meets the Rhine, because this is the Mosel promenade, totally deserted. See my picture from the same POV on a sunny day in summer! https://pbase.com/borisalex/image/144697054

Nicely composed shot of these big rivers, moody too with all the fog. V.
