Ok, I have had this one for quite a while. My Uncle Angus married a German lady in the 50's, My Aunt Agnes, no $#!% Angus and Agnes, Any how a friend of hers took this picture in 1946. I think it's Koln ? If I'm not mistaken. I was there in 1977 and there's a McDonalds in front of the Cathedral in the background where I had lunch.

It is a great shot. Because it's in black and white, it makes it that much more dramatic.
