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.

Khristianus: Este fotografia originala... :D
Fantastics details.Beautiful monument.It is a very well done capture,Eddie.Congratulations. Thanks for the joke.
Great POV and a fantastic photocapture. Excellent done.
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
The burnt/old paper aspect as frame is good and adequat touch.
Great shot! They just don't build them like that anymore. :)
hehe nice joke and I really like your border treatment here.. good pov too
Beautiful..
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.
Good shot...amazing architecture.
Awesome POV and capture!
Great shot! The pov is so imposing. Nicely done!
fantastic perspective! Great photo!!!
Wow, great POV and beautifully presented! Wonderful shot :)
Beautiful structure and work! Btw, my pic was from Las Olas Riverfront. :)
nice view of this dome... I know him a few and you have captured the best part of it :-)
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
Wonderful POV and capture!!!
Great architecture, love the PoV great shot Peace
Great picture! My neck is getting sore from looking up
Wonderful work!
Nice work!
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.
