Day 17 (cont) - Cologne (Köln) pictures

Alright, as promised, here are the pictures from the day. Also, you should know I've been at this blog for the last hour and a half. By the time I get off, it'll be well over 2 hours since I got on to post for the day. Just a fun fact about how much I put into this blog, but I love doing it and writing down my thoughts for the day before they fade away into oblivion.

Anyway, the promised pictures await!

 Looking above the front door

 The lift we took up

 View from the lift

 View from the platform at the bottom of the roof (120 ft up) at the smallest spire

 View from the bottom of the roof at the two iconic spires

 Look at them flying buttresses! Gorgeous!

 View from the bottom of the roof..along the edge...to the spire we will climb

 That wrench was actually used to tighten bolts. It's taller than our guide!

 The cross gleaming golden in the sun

 The town from the bottom of the roof

 Sunset from the smallest spire.

 Sunset between the tallest spires from the smallest spire

 A look at the inside of the church

Closer look at the windows behind the alter

 Windows behind us as we walked along the outer edge of the church inside

 Wide glass windows make everything better

 Have I mentioned how much I love love LOVE organs yet? yes? oh

 At the 'cross' in the middle of the church

 A look at the floor so far below us

 Stained glass windows are so pretty

 Ground floor: a depiction of major acts of Christ

Final look at the church before we leave.

Thanks as always for reading all my crazy posts! I hope y'all like it as much as I did!

Till next time,
