Found some old pictures of the Cathedral in Cologne, Germany and thought I would share it with you. No one goes to Germany without stopping at the cathedral in Cologne, that was what my co-worker had said to me.. and when i complained that I had seen enough of Cathedral around Europe.. he was quite adamant that i go to this one. So i said.. alright.. and went.. and boy..!! was it magnificient..! Look at how intricate the architectural details.. and taking a closer look, you can actually feel gothic.. like the Adams family kinda gothic. It also made me wonder in awe about how much talent these people had. It’s a different kind of feeling from the cathedrals that i saw in Spain.
My co-worker told me that this was the pride of Cologne and this cathedral is a World Heritage Site. This is the most famous landmark in Cologne and one of the world’s largest church. It is opened daily to anyone and they even have a tour of the church for just 4 pounds.. but we were there when they were having some sort of special service, so we couldn’t go in.. and i was kinda disappointed. I had meant to come again another day.. but i didn’t make it back.
I honestly wished i had gone back.. and now looking back and hearing some of the magnificent statues and painting others see inside the cathedral.. i could really smack myself.. for being so lazy.. and complacent at that time. I don’t know when I will be able to go back to Germany.. but if i do .. you know where to find me.
