I dokumented the right bank of the Weser River in the first and the second part of a photographic documentation.
|
|
A few days ago I photographed and viewed a part of the left bank from a heaped-up hill.
|
 |
At the outermost left edge of a photograph in the documentation about the right bank of the Weser River you can already see a very little part of this hill, which was heaped up with rubbles on the left bank of the Weser River.
|
|
From this hill you can sight the Weser River and the adjacent bank from a bird's-eye view.
|
 |
When one stands on the top of the hill and looks to the left, one can easily command a view of the entire adjacent bank and a considerable part of the Weser River in the downtown area.
|
|
People appear tiny. One can always check where they are. This is also applicable to boats on the river.
|
 |
When one stands on the top of the hill and looks to the right, the prospect of the adjacent bank area and the water area of the Weser River is considerably narrowed by trees and shrubs.
|
|
One would later notice approaching boats. One would notice approaching people not until they were standing at the foot of the hill.
|
 |
From the top of the hill you command a view of the right bank and a big sector of the water area.
|
|
But you can only see a part of the water area which is at he foot of the hill.
|
 |
The prospect of the Weser River from an other angle illustrates the smaller range of vision.
|
 |
The bankline stabilization zone behind the hill was above the water level which was low at the time when I took this photograph.
|
|
Therefore one could easily see the vegetated sector of the bankline stabilization zone.
|
 |
As seen from the foot of the hill the bank and the water area rather look like a small slip.
|
|
You can less exactly define the position of people and boats.
|
 |
This is a view of the hill from the opposite side of the bank.
