I took this photo from our kitchen window and this is one of a few ways to see Cologne from the air but I've never do that as I'm scare with high (I wish I could,so I can make a good photos from bird perspective) I don't have problem to get to the top of building and etc to overlooking the spectacular view of city,etc but I won't go close to the edge to look down,otherwise my legs shacking by itself. How about you out there,what are you scare of?
This is one of Cologne's promenade and its located in the other side where the Koeln Triangle is. If walks towards where I stood (Behind me) then it goes to "Rhine Park" which I posted yesterday and the day before yesterday.
Nope for sure ;o) I was not in Arradon (Hi,Alice) or in Naples-Florida (Hi,Isabella) or even in Malta (Hi,Nadine) to snap or borrow this photo for today post ;o) but this is Cologne REAL beach and I've to wrote 'REAL' caused we do have artificial beach which is not for free such as Cologne Beach Club and Sky Beach but without sea view or direct water with Rhine view like this one ;o) This is public beach but wild beach as the government not in charge for lifeguard or any public needs facilities and that means you are on your own risk if you swim in the river and beach like this are many around Cologne. It would be save enough if not try to swim further more to the middle of the river. Well,what can I say for more...plenty tragedies happened already in Rhine river even for good swimmer and there is no "Forbidden to swim" sign around in this looking good tempting beach or in other beach of Cologne.
One of the days when last week the sky gave sunshine and blue sky,I was here to relax (today is raining). This is over looking to other side of Rhine.Behind me or where I sat down to took this photo is the area of old city when continue from yesterday posted the water gauge is on the far right site of this photo and just to reminds I've posted this area which was between bridge and underground street. In summer or as long as the weather is warm enough,this area is full with sunbather or people who just need to relax (sometimes in winter too but not for sunbathing ;o). Behind me are many restaurants and hotels. Do you need me to turn around? ;o)
This is the Yacht Harbour of Cologne.Like always said a picture tells thousand words then I want to say my words: far back is the famous Cologne's mascot "Der Dom" (The Cathedral).It can be seeing from everywhere.The Rhine river and from this view means flows to the Netherlands and came from Swiss.The bridge and this is not the same bridge from all my previous posted as Cologne city has 7 bridges that connected the west and east sites. Right now this area is under construction for the new luxury apartments for sale only and office for rent as you can see on left and right side. This place will be look nice and luxury when it finish even now we can enjoy sunset from this side in beer garden stairs restaurant where I took this photo. I will try post one day a nice photo of the sunset and hope I can make it as i'm still learning to make sunset photo and until now still not satisfied with the result yet.
On the river bank of Rhine where the Cathedral located (sorry that you can't see it here as it's on very left site).This is a view to the Old City (well,part of) from my weird angle :-) Above is a bridge for the tram goes to the other site of the Rhine where the triangle is (posted yesterday) as well as for all kind of vehicles and pedestrian. Cologne city is in both sites of the river Rhine.The middle level is the real ground as you can see,sunbather are enjoy themselves and below it's a special road for "special toys with engine" ;-) also can see in this photo on the left hand...Well,Cologne is in her plastic surgery and almost in all part.Soon will be very beauty than ever before :-)
