Wuppertal Monorail  by bruni

Wuppertal Monorail

I looked in my archives for something a bit different and came across this monorail. we were vacationing in Germany and since I don't like heights, Hans dared me to go on it. it was fun riding above the Wupper, a river in Wuppertal.

What's new today: I have been treated for sun exposure to my face for some time now. I also have a huge spot below my right shoulder. the treatment didn't work and so the dermatologist tried it again and a third time. yesterday he was suppose to take a biopsy, but instead, he said he changed his mind and froze the spot on my back and then took out the damaged layers of skin. it wasn't painful, but now that the freezing has worn off, it is. I sleep on my back and that was out of the question. my next appointment is two weeks from now to get the stitches removed. we're talking right shoulder right above the muscle. so you can imagine typing and using the mouse is not very pleasant at the moment.

Nice shot and so interesting looking. It looks like it might be fun but I'm not fond of heights either.

I would love to ride there, Bruni. Maybe when everything is back to 'normal' we can have a trip to Germany.

At first I thought this pic was upside down. Then I stood on my head and realized it wasn't. Neat shot. Hopefully, your little op will be the last. Take care.

At first glance I thought this was upside down or a reflection. Nice shot and story. I share your issues with the sun. Sun not kind to fair skinned people.

Oh! What a great photo. Mum brought a calico bag from Wuppertal with the monorail on the bag.

I've been fascinated by this monorail ever since I saw a film of it many years ago. Nice to see it again.

I hope your skin issue heals quickly.

Nice, and I am sure the ride on that is full of wonderful sights

This is a neat shot! The slight blur of the monorail gives it a sense of movement.
I am so sorry about your health issues. I hope the pain goes away soon and it heals quickly.

This is so cool so much going on in a good way the shapes lines colors I love that there’s almost no empty space - this would be fun to make into a jigsaw puzzle. Fav
