VIEW FROM THE TRAIN

of course. a view like this one could not easily find in the Weser Uplands. But many of this kind in the Industrial Ruhr area!
We left our house at a quarter before nine, all went well till we learned that one train in our journey would have a delay, so we were able to take another route and did only arived at The Hague ten minutes later than planned.
Only trained travellers could know how to succeed in the intricate ways of railway roads in Germany and we still learn every time some more.
The Deutsche Bahn employees will go on strike probably later this week, so this could not affect us today.
In the morning we departed with lovely weather, the rain greated us when we in The Hague stepped out of the Lightrail that brought us home.
Mischa came to greet us and we had pizza for dinner.

My haiku:

The sombre vistas
Of the industrial sites
Sometimes have beauty

And the quote by Thomas Carlyle in Chartism (1839):

It is the heart that always sees, before the head can see.
