Snaps from September 2024, including a visit to Pützchen’s Markt in Bonn, one of the oldest and largest folk festivals in Germany. I also had the chance to visit Groß St. Martin during the Day of the Open Monument (Tag des offenen Denkmals) in Cologne – one of the rare moments when you can take photos inside the church. The Day of the Open Monument lasted two days, so I also visited the historical town hall of Cologne as well as the Baptistery near the Cologne Cathedral.

The images are currently part of an on-going album on flickrꜛ. They will be available here soon.
