Evening twilight with drizzle with the mighty cathedral of Cologne in the background
the combined pedestrian, cyclist and rail bridge is best known for the impressive wall
with thousands and thousands of love locks as decoration.
perhaps it is really Eau de Cologne which flowing past under the bridge
since it is teeming with romantic lovers in the area.

But more accurately and officially it is – the river Rhin
(in romansh “Rain”; in german “Rhein”; in french “Rhin”; in dutch “Rijn”)
is a european river that runs from the Swiss canton of Grisons

and is the twelfth longest river in Europe at about 1,233 km

      Thanks, the photos taken from the “Koelnmesse” area – I have for many years been in Cologne a few times each year – as an exhibitor at food fairs – wonderful atmosphere both in the beautiful convention center and the lovely town – usually each stay lasting a week… 🙂

      I always love to visit Köln, have for many years been in Cologne 2-3 times each year – as an exhibitor at food fairs – wonderful atmosphere both in the beautiful convention center and the very lovely city – sometimes I have to use hotel in close-located capital city of the german state of North Rhine-Westphalia – Düsseldorf – a wonderful city too… 🙂
