Rhine Bridge at Cologne

It's the Hohenzollern Bridge  (Hohenzollernbrücke)--originally rail and road, but destroyed in 1945 and rebuilt as a rail and pedestrian bridge. It leads to the Hauptbahnhof (main station) well  out of the frame on the left (see the map).  At least two trains are visible--a red one under the main arch and a white one to the right. a nice feature are the many cobblestones, laid in circular patterns among the lovely midday shadows; they're on many streets elsewhere. A lovely day--not warm, but not too chilly, with no wind. We caught our train back to Paris in the afternoon--332 miles (535 km) in 3 1/4 hours; averaging well over 100 miles/hr excluding 15-20 minutes for three stops. 
Yesterday I promised more information on the three museums we visited it. I've added some--if you're curious, flip back :)
