Description
I photographed this marina in Schierstein, near Wiesbaden, Germany on a late September afternoon.
Per Wikipedia: Schierstein is a southwestern borough of Wiesbaden, capital of state of Hesse, Germany. First mentioned in historical records in 860, Schierstein was incorporated into Wiesbaden in 1926. Today the borough has about 10,000 residents. Situated on the Rhine River, Schierstein is known as the "Gateway to the Rheingau."
Per Wikipedia: The Schiersteiner Port is situated along the Rhine (km 506.0) in Schierstein. The Port is largely used as a marina today. Constructed in 1858, the port has a length of 1250 meters and has become a water sports center with a 1250 meter-long regatta course. On its northern shore is the port promenade, which because of its Mediterranean flair, has become known as the "Schiersteiner Riviera".

A pleasing scene and a well framed composition, Sarah, and I like the way the yellow boat pops!

Interesting bridge in the distance....nice!! f/l
Sarah Loft replied:
Thank you, Louise! It's a relatively modern bridge connecting the two ends of the harbor. The narrow neck of water under the bridge connects the Schiestein harbor to the Rhine.
