Cologne christmas market
Yesterday we went to Köln together with some friends to visit the Christmas markets.
Each year, Christmas markets spring up around Germany in the weeks before the holidays, signaling the beginning of Advent. Every city in Germany has it’s own Christmas market, offering traditional German handicrafts, local delicacies and traditional products. You can find some useful information about the markets in Cologne on this page: http://www.stadt-koeln.de/en/koelntourismus/christmas/index.html.
This picture was taken right outside of the Christmas market at the Kölner Dom. Since I didn’t bring a tripod with me on the trip, I had to improvise. Luckily I found this great tripod-trashcan which allowed me to make a long exposure picture.
