Cologne

First excursion today! We went to Cologne and saw the most beutiful cathedral. My favorite part was the "digital" window. It's the most modern window in the Cathedral at Cologne, unfortunately it wasnt sunny when we saw it so it didnt light up the cathedral but when the sun shines through it projects blocks of colour onto the pillars and walls of the cathedral. Though controversial, the window was my favorite part of the cathedral. I believe that church is a place of solace and peace and so, because the window was non-representational, I felt that it added to that sense of peace nicely. I enjoyed that the window was "random" but still had a sense of symmetry which made it,in my opinion, the perfect piece for its location.
