St. Maria Himmelfahrt Church, Koln

One for Salvador - but not in Mexico! Taken using the handheld XDR

technique discussed in Salvador's forum post. This lovely church is

overlooked by Koln Cathedral and overlooked by many visitors too!

Started in 1458 this basilica style church was altered to the Baroque

style in 1708. The high altar features figures from 1671 and a Madonna

and Child by Hans Multecher dated 1440.

I feel honored for such a beautiful gift, it is another piece of art of an excellent photographer, BRAVO Maestro, and best regards , remember Mexico is waiting for you , happy shooting and thanks again // Salvador Penaloza

This is beautiful!

It was overlooked by me, too :-) I like this presentation very much with its gentle and soft colour tones and perfect details. Really very nice. Cheers!

Salvador - As soon as I stepped inside this church I was immediately reminded of your great pictures from Mexico - it must be the basilica style.

 

Thomas - all the more beautiful when you look at the pictures (posted in the entry) of this church taken in 1945 - no roof and rubble filling the aisle. A remarkable restoration!

 

Milena - Next time you are in Koln, be sure to drop by!

 

Thanks all for your kind comments, RickDB

Great shot of this excellent interior!

An exceptionally well-ballanced HDR. Congratulations. I wonder who may be that desperate person who rated this image 3/3. Best regards, Vadim
