Cologne Germany

By
Cologne Germany is over 2,000 years old and was once a Roman city. Known for it's Gothic architecture and twine tower cathedral (third largest in the world) Cologne is in competition with Düesseldorf when it comes to beer. The average German drinks 35 gallons of beer a year.

This Is a photo of a bombed building. So sad that so many died during the war. 

That is my girl waiting to go on tour. 

A nice fountain and flowers.

Cologne Cathedral Church started in 1248. It is still being updated 
Glass was removed during WWII and saved to be placed back in the church. 
Bridge of locks. One of the first bridges built near Cologne. Trains cross the bridge every 1.5 minutes. 
Lovers place a lock on the bridge signifying there love. They throw the key in the water and live happily ever after. 
It is good to own a lock shop. 

People walk, drive and ride trains over this bridge.

The Universe In no particular order: The universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. Big Bang - Only two elements were formed one million of a millionth of a millionth of a second after the big bang. Because of heat after the big bang these two elements were created. 1. 75% hydrogen  2. 25% helium 400 million years after the big bang, the stars are formed under extreme heat. The stars start to fail and explode which created carbon, oxygen, iron, nitrogen cooked and then exploded. E=MC² shows that Energy and Mass are interchangeable which is how energy turned into elements or mass. The earth is 4.543 billion years old. Life on earth evolved after b

Vancouver then Disney Cruise to Alaska

Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park Purchased  by George MacKay in 1889, the 6,000 acres of forest had a beautiful Capilano river flowing right through the middle of the property. George and his team pulled ropes across the river and erected a suspension bridge. Tam is standing on the Cliffwalk which is 30 stories above the river.  I am on the Cliffwalk and removed the people in the photo with Google Photos Edit application.    Raptors are brought in to show and educate the visitors.
