I'm on the train crossing the Rhein River near Cologne, Germany, where I got
this shot of Great St. Martin's Church.  It is not the grand Cologne Cathedral
that is so well known.  I was looking for it, but didn't see it from the train.

   
A view of the German countryside from the train I met our friend Steffen Bretzke at the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, - the main train station.  My thanks go to Steffen for helping me - with these photo descriptions for the time I was in Germany. A view looking toward downtown Frankfurt, with the subway entrance in the foreground. This is a wide view of the Frankfurt skyline.  On the left, you see the Commerzbank tower. - The Commerzbank is Germany's second largest bank.  The tall building with the radio tower - on the right is the Maintower building, home of the public savings bank for the states of Hessen - and Thuringia.  We'll soon be going to the top of the Maintower building to check out the view. The symbol for the European Central Bank, in front of the Eurotower, - the location of the former ECB headquarters building in Frankfurt. - It used to be the home of the European currency, the Euro.
We're approaching the Maintower building, where we will - take the elevator up to the viewing platform at the top. This is the view from the top of the 56 floor Maintower building looking west. - The building on the left is the tower of Deka-Gruppe, a company - providing mutual funds, and on the right the Deutsche Bank towers. Moving counter-clockwise, we see the main train station with the Main River on the far left. You see a better view of the Main River here.  Note the white area above the tall - buildings far away in the background.  That is Frankfurt's international airport. This tall building is the Commerzbank Tower.
