24T86 Köln, latest observations

By on

(E85)

I saw the grand church’s north tower the first time in 2002. Like all before and after who trickle out of the train station in surprise, the first time one lays eyes on Cologne Cathedral is memorable, because the churches of transport and of religion are adjacent, and the neck gets a little sore leaning back for a complete view.

In the time between for 22 years, I’ve been reacquainted many times with that kink in my neck. Fortunately, I’ve also been here enough to know there’s more to Cologne than “just” the cathedral.

At a height of 266 metres (873 feet), the Colonius Fernmeldeturm (Telecommunications Tower) has been the city’s tallest structure since 1981.

I made the photos above with an iPhone15 on 1 Aug 2024. This post composed with Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
