24_Ulm and Neu-Ulm.jpg

To the left (or lower part) lies Ulm, in the state of Baden-Württemberg, and to the right (or upper part), Neu-Ulm, in the state of Bavaria.
Neu-Ulm was formerly part of Ulm until 1810, when the Danube was established as the border between the Kingdoms of Württemberg and Bavaria.
Today, Ulm and Neu-Ulm function together as twin cities, connected by bridges.
The large building in this photo is the Donaucenter, a famous residential and commercial complex.
This is the final photo in this sub-gallery. I did not go inside the Ulm Minster, as my umbrella, camera bag, windbreaker, and hair were almost dripping with water.
I felt that my attire was not appropriate for entering a church. So, I missed out on photos of the cathedral's interior.
However, I was grateful to have come home with these photos of Ulm's architecture, despite the heavy rain.

The tiered architecture of the residential and commercial complex rises dramatically like a concrete cascade, softened by scattered splashes of color from window panels, and contrasted beautifully against the fresh greens of riverside trees and the soft pink blossoms in the foreground, which by itself is alive with delicate cherry blossoms, their petals forming a natural frame that softens the urban backdrop.....Excellent capture!
