Bridge at Cologne

Seen from the South West spire of Koln Cathedral, the main bridge across the river Rhine.

Just a taster for those of you who have wondered where I had got to, lately. Even Church Mouse has had a lack of contact, as I spent eight very full and busy days with my very, very special friends in their lovely country. They took me to see some wonderful buildings, we explored the history of the Palatinate and the Rhine, and we had some plain old-fashioned fun together.

I have barely had time to change suitcases on my return home, Sunday, and must now return back to Germany - this time to a trade show in Hannover, today. Hopefully I will then have some breathing space to sort out a bit more posting and share some of the photos and things I have learned.

Auf weidersehen!

That's an excellent photo of the bridge. I have a photo of the bridge taken in 1923, which you can see here -

Yes, it's the Hohenzollern Bridge - no doubt about that.... If you click on my name it will(hopefully ) take you directly to a 1923 picture of the bridge showing the original stone towers above the walkway (not replaced after 1945 ).
