Hi, Mike and Joe! Thanks for the nice words. I was hoping folks might enjoy those virtually unseen pictures of the "attic". I was with a group from my church visiting the Orgelbau Klais Bonn organ builders (we did buy one of theirs) and the builder was in the process of refurbishing the Main Organ in the Cathedral and had stored some of the pipes above the ceiling while the work went on. He had permission to take us up there. That lift was scary! And the narrow walkway between it and the opening in the roof was even worse. I somehow summoned up some "brave" and did it. We were about 200 feet above the ground (the view was spectacular!).

Köln, Germany – the Cathedral, Part 3 (the Stained-glass Windows)

I have visited Köln (Cologne) in Germany several times over the years, and the cathedral there, too. Since I seem to specialize in church sets, and I found I’d not yet done one on the Köln Cathedral, I decided to do one now. The photos here are from different tours – specific information about when, etc. can be found by clicking on a photo, which will take you to the Flickr page for it. Part 1 is of the exterior and views from a trip up to above the ceiling (a rare event provided by the Orgelbau Klais Bonn company during their renovation of the Main Organ). Part 2 is of the church interior. Part 3 is of the stained-glass windows.

Statues in Paris, France in 2015

In summer 2015, my church choir made a tour of Europe including several days in Paris, France. During my travels there I photographed several statues. Here they are:

@ David in Dallas what a wonderful display.Bet there are lots of drivebys to have a look.
Thank you. No, my street does not get much traffic and the lights aren't visible from a major street. My display is the only big one--a couple of other houses have small ones, but our street isn't well decorated.

I don't have a need for one. I just use my fingers, the tools that God gave me. They've worked for 83 years (as of yesterday).
