Photographer’s Note

I'm spending my long weekend in Germany in Düsseldorf. It's the capital city of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is an economic centre of Germany. The city is situated on the River Rhine and has a high population density - the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area has over 10 million inhabitants alone. The city is renowned for its many events and also for its fashion and trade fairs.

- 17% of Düsseldorf's population are foreigners, which is a total of 98,686 people. The largest minority ethnic groups are Turkish, Greek, and Italian.
- Düsseldorf has the third largest Jewish community in Germany, with about 7,400 members, which is more than 1% of the city's population.
Düsseldorf and its surroundings has the third largest Japanese community in Europe and the largest in Germany (about 11,000).
