We left Dusseldorf in drizzling rain and I thought, wow another rainy weekend away. But about half way it started to clear up and the mood in the car changed remarkably. When we arrived in Hamburg, it was sunny and warm as it could be. Just wonderful.

Today’s May Photo Challenge topic is “Books”. I have the perfect motif just not the best photo quality as it was taken with my mobile camera.
