At the back right is the new bridge ëSprung ueber die Emscherí (Leap over the Emscher). On the horizon is the Datteln 4 power station. 00X251018D002CAROEX.JPG [MODEL RELEASE: NO, PROPERTY RELEASE: NO (c) caro images / Oberhaeuser, http://www.caro-images.com, [email protected] - In case of using the picture for any purpose, please contact the agency - the picture is subject to royalty!]
