Frankfurt...


I went to Finland planning a short stop-over in Frankfurt on the way home.  But then, I needed to stay over the weekend, as part of a detour to India.  So, I charged up my camera batteries and hit the streets...

But then, as I often do, I was up before dawn the following morning,
to see what I could see.

A cool church, with high steeple, on the south side of the river.


The middle bridge of the five in the central town area is a pedestrian bridge,
the railings are full of "love-locks" (but not too many pre-dawn pedestrians).

Same church, with the sunrise fairly subdued, the clouds were a bit heavy.

A glass-covered building off to the east, with some color finally developing.

It started to rain, so that was it for the first try at a sunrise.
Here's an evening shot from the pedestrian bridge, looking west.

Same tall church, from a position on the south bank, east of the church.

Beautiful, peaceful, some color and no rain...my kind of sunrise.

Now, off to the airport for a quick 9-hour flight to Mumbai !

Y'all take care.
