a day in cologne #1
-
I might write: beautiful sky :)
but it is the very rare opportunity to see an Inter City train on duty, congrats for this shot
-
...a first glimpse, I got distracted (all shots D850 & 1.8/85G, most at f/1.8 and original framing):
#2 St Kunibert, the Jesus Root Window
#3 St Maria Lyskirchen, Altar
#4 private underground parking
-
#5 Statuette in front of St Kunibert
#6 Bearded Tourist in the Dom
-
#7 a man looking like the chief of Alibaba Jack Ma and his personal security
#8 street under the bridge
#9 light in the dome
#10 a company called "condome"?
-
#11 Rhine view with soldier
#12 Female sculpture
#13 red, black, silver
-
#14 my interpretation of what I saw is that couples meet on the roof of the museum to have sex
#15 inside the museum surveillance is ubiquitous
-
#16 oranje bikes forever one
#17 oranje bikes forever two
#18 red bikes forever
#19 Amsterdam
-
next batch
#20 rather concrete all natural monochrome
#21 Roman Emperors are pictured as gay bodybuilders not because the really looked that way, but because this was the beauty ideal of the time
#22 another rooftop couple. I do not think they really dared to perform, other couples wrote their names onto the roof to say "we did it here"
#23 in one of the churches a man was drawing

Frank thanks for sharing.

In a city full of churches I could not help to visit 5 of them:
Dom
St. Ursula
St. Kunibert
St Maria Lyskirchen
Groß St Martin
AND find organs there. This is the
#26 Kuhn Organ in St Kunibert (handheld panorama with some small faults, 172 Megabyte)
#27 Manual of #26
#28 St. Maria Lyskirchen Organ under the roof
#29 Groß St. Martin, a Choir Organ only but quite a piece

I love Cologne, one of my favorite cities. Thanks for your view on the city.
'The Rhineview with soldier', is that Barbarossaplatz?

No, it is a window perspective from the "Museum Ludwig" by the Dom. In the back you can see the Ebertplatz with the AXA Colonia Building
-
One of the great Grand Hotels in the City center is being renovated. It is situated directly at the Dom. Currently it resembles the look of the Colosseum in Rome quite well. Seen from different perspectives in my little series:
#30 partial view of Hotel with Asian tourists posing
#31 full view of Hotel from above
#32 Collosseum look alike contest
#33 star gazing tourists in front of Hotel

ah, thanks Frank. Didn't realize it was a window perspective, makes sense now. ;)

From the museum I look North, down on the equistarian statue behind the Hohenzollernbrücke, in the back the Zoobrücke can be seen, in the middle the Rhine with the western banks to the left, East to the right
-
#34 golden Reliques in a church Reliquar
-
#35 possibly sex on the roof, part three
-
#36 flashback into the 1980ies adverts
-
#37 A hand rail in St Maria Lyskirchen
#38 statuettes in St Maria Lyskirchen
-
#39 one cross each (this one protects air conditioning from insensitive lory drivers)
-
Cologne deep underground is like a swiss cheese full of holes:
#40 pots found in the Roman Governor's Palace
#41 parts of the Roman sewer sytem are walkable. They are warm and wet but do not stink anymore
