The other day I went out to a photo event called fotofair. Besides the normal marketing and sales pitches from various brands, there are some very interesting models that wander around the premisses. The Steampunk warrior woman Fairyina was one of them.

In fact, fairyina is by far the most fierce and steampunk representation of the warrior woman!

Standing or riding the futuristic wheels, she is absolutely representing Girl power with a capital G!

Sometimes you need to show your power by using other tools, in this case, a leather whip. In combination with her steampunk clothing, she looked fierce!

When I finally got myself together and was ready to ask her a question, her colleague entered the scene. Damn..now I had to wait when the pilot with the gun left the premises.

Can I remind you, he had a gun!

Looking fantastic and thinking about the things ahead in this beautiful stare. Thank you Steampunk warrior woman Fairyina

Saint John’s Cathedral in black and white.

The Roman Catholic Cathedral Church of St. John is spectacular from the inside. In my opinion, the outside is a restored version of what? I don’t know, and leave it up to you.

The organ is simply huge and is centered alongside the entrance of the church. Construction started at approx. 1618.

The book was open on page 193, the Sabbato song. And again, the light was gorgeous.

Candles in a church are always magical.

The light was heavenly beautiful.
Taking photographs of Saint John’s Cathedral in black and white was a moment of peace. People are talking in silent mode to each other while visiting a church.

My mission today, capture Cologne in black and white images, what else.
Starting with the great cathedral, called the Dom, in Cologne. It’s absolutely amazing how big this building is. Its sheer size is astonishing.

Next stop, the Cologne central station. Also know as Köln Hauptbahnhof. Perfect to take black and white shots because of the strong contrast on this particular day.

I do like reflection or see trough shots a lot, it’s mysterious and you have to think twice while looking at such a picture.

There is a lot of love in Cologne, take a look at this! This is just a few feet on the very long Hohenzollern Bridge.

Alongside the river Rhein, you can take awesome shots of the river and the newly developed Rheinauhafen. This former harbor is rebuilt with some of the city’s most spectacular architecture.

My personal favorite of the day, in the midst of Rheinauhafen, alongside the river Rhein.

Lot’s of art as well.

And….a lot of people getting married at the Cologne City Hall, or Rathaus.
This particular bride is awaiting, well, I don’t know to be honest.

Lovely small alley’s in Koln.

The big Ferris wheel alongside the river Rhein gives you a glimpse of the city.

I will late you guess what this is.

This took my breath away, this lady carried everything she has in life on a trolley. Amazing….

Another day has passed

It’s inevitable that the days will pass.
It’s unavoidable that the days will pass.
If the days pass by and the last day will come, how do I want to be remembered?
What is my legacy if the days have passed by and my time is up?
What is it I want people to remember thinking about me?
