I love this picture of
the Cologne Cathedral from the “old days.” A tall, massive structure rises up
among low buildings, drawing the eye from all directions.
Today it’s hemmed in,
with a railroad yard right beside it. But it still stands. During World War II,
Cologne felt the full fury of war. Everything around the cathedral suffered
significant damage. The cathedral, too, was damaged, but not mortally.
I saw it in 2005. During
the night, the river cruise ship floated through Cologne. No stopping. No tour.
Just some lights.

The cathedral is a
character in my novel, No Neutral Ground.
I wish I could have visited it.
Have you?
