view of the Cologne Cathedral from across the Rhine River in Cologne, Germany

view of the Cologne Cathedral from across the Rhine River in Cologne, Germany. The photo was taken from the Hohenzollernbrücke bridge, facing south-southwest. The iconic twin spires of the cathedral, partially obscured by clouds, are the dominant feature. Other buildings, including a tall tower, line the opposite bank of the river, and a red construction crane is visible in the lower right corner. The sky is blue with white clouds. The photo was likely taken on a late winter or early spring day with the sun setting in the west.
