Catholic Easter in the Cologne Cathedral

Cologne Cathedral, Catholic Easter-Sunday March 24, 2008

I was there with junior in the sling. He was quiet because the most of the time he was sleeping.

The rays of the Sunlight in these pictures are passing through the glass pane on the window which is designed from the artist Gerhard Richter for the Cologne Cathedral. Gerhard Richter is considered by some critics as one of the most important European artists and is also one of the world's most expensive, with his paintings often selling for several million dollars apiece.

The Bishop, Joachim Kardinal Meisner was also there. Another time I have to devote a post to some of his choices for architecture and art.

Some short videos from the same occasion:

Consideration

Cologne, Thursday April 15, 2008

This view is from the windows of the Greek consulate in Cologne. What a coincidence!

Consideration means in German „die Gegenleistung“ but the meaning of this word in combination with this picture, is something that the architects and friends from Greece understand much better then anyone else: «αντιπαροχή»
