I had planned to go to Köln on Saturday and Utrecht on Sunday. Well...things didn't go so well on Saturday. But Sunday made up for it, in spades.
This was specifically a photo trip. I ended up taking almost 650 pictures, more than half of which are usable. I'm going to publish them in parts (probably three). Here are the first 60 or so...
