COLOGNE's 21st century heart...the RHEINAUHAFEN

A little more information...the 2 buildings in the distance in the pic above are both office buildings ("Kranhaus1" and "KranhausPLUS"). The one closest to the camera will house 133 luxury apartments ("Pandion Vista"). The balconies make it look a bit ugly but it's gotta be on the best places to live in Cologne. Right next to the Rhine and depending on what apartment you have, you can see the cathedral.

Interesting and very nice photos, Kampflamm

Fantastic shots! What camera & lenses do you use? (no EXIF )

Thanks. It's a Canon EOS-350D and a Sigma 17-70mm lens.

Another great thread by Kampflamm, keep posting my friend! :cheers:

Nice pictures of a city we don't get too much. BTW, is there a lot of construction Koln? The construction thread for Koln in German forum is dead

nice shots of a beautiful city.
the modern buildings above the old ones are something different.

There's definitely not a whole lot going on. This Rheinauhafen has been the biggest project over the past couple of years. There are some minor projects here and there but nothing on the scale of what you see in Frankfurt, Berlin or even Hamburg.

COOL!

Thanks for the answer. Seems like Dusseldorf is where the action is in NRW when it comes to construction.

Strange...I have the same setup and my pictures don't look like this!

Good job, keep posting the great pics/updates.

You got any threads I could check out to contrast and compare?

Nice thread! Lots of very interesting modern architecture along the waterfront there.

Yup, can't wait to take some shots during the summer time.

You even turn foggy pictures into little masterpieces...
