gettin' arty wit it in düsseldorf

I made a little day trip to Düsseldorf back in July. I can't say I'm much enthused by this city. To wander along the Rhein is lovely, but to sit and enjoy a beer there is a bit pricey, and the whole place was sodden with snap-happy tourists, much like a wettex soaks up grey, frothy dish water. (NB yes yes I am a hypocrite, I know...)

Mind you, on the day I visited, it was blisteringly hot (maybe 40 degrees?). That, coupled with the fact that I got lost and wasted over an hour wandering around a vast wasteland of office blocks, maaaay have influenced my impression of the place.

Ahh well. At least I found these cool bendy, shiny buildings.
