Sunday, beautiful late Summer morning, and I'm working on my final posts
from the Spring trip we took from Budapest to Amsterdam, and the last pix from
Devon and London trip in June. I need to remove many photos from my
laptop to my TRAVEL portable drive before I travel again ---------
---------I desperately need to free up some storage space !
Cologne, Germany's fourth largest city, is a major cultural center filled with museums,
galleries, the university, historical architecture and of course the easily recognizable
Cologne Cathedral which dominates the skyline.
Construction on this magnificent Gothic cathedral in the Old City commenced in 1248
and continued in several stages over seven centuries. Finally completed in 1880, it
largely escaped the damage that ravaged the city during World World II.
The largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe, and a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, it has two soaring spires and beautiful stained glass windows.
Friends Kim & Rob at the main entrance to the cathedral.
I think this photo shows its massive size compared to the people in the
background.

In my next post I'll share the interior of the cathedral - a truly fabulous place full of
color and light, quite different from the somewhat dark exterior.
