In the spotlight

13.8 km / 8.6 miles 🚶

Köln (Cologne) 🇩🇪

Cologne is the largest city of Germany's most populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia and it is the most populous city of both the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region and the Rhineland.

The story

I was in the mood to take my good old Fujifilm X-E2 out on a date today, so I did! Unfortunately, my 23mm lens had some issues, so I paired it with the 50mm instead. That combo requires a city with enough ‘room’ for a full-frame equivalent 77mm field of view – so Cologne it was!
