Wednesday Walk: Der Dom im Köln

in #wednesdaywalk5 years ago (edited)

Today's walk was a bit further afield than London.

Instead my I made a stroll from the Köln HBf towards Friesenstrasse where I am staying.

It's been a few years since I was here and this German city is undergoing rapid redevelopment.

One thing that doesn't change however is the towering presence of the Dom (cathedral ) which is intrinsically linked to the identity of the city itself.

More photos to come tomorrow.

Those old cathedrals aren't subtle, are they? Wow! That is a seriously imposing edifice!

They went for shock and awe to draw in the peasants from near and far.

The last time I was there, it was under renovations too...

That is a gorgeous building :)

I remember seeing that Catherdral it is very powerful and kind of dark in some ways but still so beautiful

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)

It's often tinged in dark stone but despite its gothic appearance the city is full of light and fun. The work is to restore it's natural stone colour back.

I am not sure I went inside it when I was there and it was a dark cloudy day so that may have affected both my mood the look of it, gad to hear they are restoring it

Wow! It is impressive! Looks like a great day for a walk!

It looks like they're taking care of it, anyway. How long have they been working on the facade, I wonder? I don't think I would trust that scaffolding, especially the one hanging off the right side. That looks precarious!

Great shot of this beutiful Dom, and a lovely city for a stay.

Yes, I can feel it's presence with your photo.
