A Picture...
This is a picture of Cologne, the first place I saw in Germany and now my home. I will never forget this city and this view from the top of the cathedral is a good visual explanation of it. We were fortunate enough to get a tour through the seldom seen parts and onto the roof and it offered an unforgettable view of the city. It shows the Rhine and the train station, both the transportation hubs of the city, and also a spire of the cathedral, an unmistakable mark of tradition. Both of these aspects of Germany are very clear explanations of the culture here and this picture captures them.
