Unfortunately this photo is a little fuzzy. We went to the Koln Dom. It's a huge, beautiful old cathedral. The construction of it started in 1248, however with many interruptions was not fully completed until 1880. And it survived the wars despite being hit around 70 times (Google Koln cathedral if you want to know more!) The ceilings are crazy tall. It is really dark inside, but it wasn't a particularly sunny day outside either so that didn't help. This had to be the photo of the day because of the way it made me feel seeing this man light the candles of the advent wreath. We left Australia just before the first week of advent and haven't made it to church since. That has NEVER happened to me before. And I have fond memories of advent and it is such a special time of year. Tim and I have spoken a couple of times how it doesn't seem quite real that it is almost Christmas and maybe this is why. We are missing the preparation weeks! It was very special to see this beautiful and HUGE wreath being lit, take a moment and reflect on the season amongst the hussle and bussel of the tourists.
