Description
Hello everyone!
For today I picked this shot from Koln (Cologne), Germany, with its beautiful Dome, built about eight centuries ago (hope I'm not wrong!).
Many thanks for your comments, rates and favs on my yesterday's post, "Orange"!
Have a wonderful day!
Yep, here's another joke... just got it!
Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again.
An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger:
- I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it... why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?
The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed:
- Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who plants the trees called in sick.

Stunning capture detailing the expansive height to this cathedral. I'm not going to elaborate on this joke...brings back the "what do you get with a swimming pool filled with all blonde babes?" one....LOL

I saw this impressive building once in an ad in the WSJ with a KRUPP crane towering over it. That was when Bayer and Krupp and all the others banned from certain activities by the reparations commission after WW-I were released. On a personal note no one has a right to question me as if I am Albert Speer. ( I had to read a book about him to understand that in the context of the Korean table at Panmunjom.) Post War leadership is so cumbersome. Yes, old institutions survive. Sometimes rebuilt.

What a great POV. This is a spectacular building. I recall seeing a post WWII picture of Cologne bombed to absolute ruin with the singular exception of this huge old cathedral standing untouched in the middle of all that destruction. Well done. Bill

Ah a special shot of this famous building... and you are right they started building it in 1248 but there were interruptions in building so it wasn't finished until 1880 and by then it was the tallest building in the world - but only for four years until the completion of the Washington Monument...smile A really fine shot and like the framing you did.
