Gothic Tower

Most pictures of the dome in Cologne show the entire church - I thought this crop makes it a bit clearer, how big it is. Btw-I gave this church the title "most photographer-unfriendly church of Europe" - I was not allowed to shot with tripod inside - when asking three times why, I heard what I exected: we don't want, that you have any finacial profit with pictures from our church. What an attitude - if I sell pictures and not gave any money to the owner of this church or if I don't sell, they won't get any money anyway - so they think, if we don't get something, you also should not get something - a philosophy from the medieval (and as I learned now - without any legal base - as soon as they allow to shoot photos in a public space, they have to allow both - with or without tripod)
