And one more thing.

An assortment of images, both from last year and more from this year, can be found on the album page Kölner Lichter.

Quite spectacular with the Hollenzollern Bridge in the foreground.

Last year, I took some images of the fireworks from a position in the southern city, not really optimal. So this year I went to the Zoo Bridge, which was somewhat crowed in the end, but gives a phantastic view.

Since the start in 2001, the fireworks are now a major summer attraction.

Start of the main fireworks of the “Kölner Lichter” on the Rhine between the Hohenzollern Bridge and the Deutzer Bridge.
