Photo of the Month – September 2026
Golden Sacred Sites on the Shrine
Standing on the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, Germany, this alluring scene reveals itself in a late-July summer night. Only after the sky surrenders to a deep, velvety blue does this graceful city show its true magic. Above the Rhine River, the floodlit spires of the Cologne Cathedral and the Great Saint Martin Church rise proudly, catching the last golden light.
