On a clear and warm June day we ambled over the dam shown in the
picture. The Rhine marks the northern border of Switzerland from
Germany. This photograph was made from the German side of the
river. One of the many dams on the Rhine, this particular one is in
Leibstadt. The nuclear power station of Leibstadt can be seen in the
background with its characteristic puff of steam. The Swiss government
pays a non-neglibile amount to the German towns across the river as
compensation for shadow cast on them by the steam.
