Hohenzollern Bridge

This still belongs to yesterday's night pictures of Cologne. The Hohenzollernbrücke (Hohenzollern Bridge) over the Rhine, named after the noble family that was ruling the area and all of Germany at the time the bridge was constructed, connects Cologne central station on the left and Cologne Trade Fair/Deutz on the right side of the river. It's one of the most important railway bridges over the Rhine and quite a bottleneck for traffic in the area, even though freight traffic gets redirected over another bridge further south (aptly named South Bridge). At the same time, it's also one of the most beautiful, and to illustrate this, it's illuminated at light.

The picture certainly isn't perfect, but considering that I shot it without tripod or anything similar, it could have been a whole lot worse as well. It's the only of thirty pictures of the scene that turned out good, by the way.
