Mainz Cathedral of St. Martin (Mainzer Dom), over 1,000 years old.

Mainz is a city in Germany and the capital of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It was a politically important seat of the Prince-elector of Mainz (see: Archbishopric of Mainz) under the Holy Roman Empire, and previously was a Roman fort city which commanded the west bank of the Rhine and formed part of the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire.

Mainz is a city with over two thousand years of history. It is located on the river Rhine across from Wiesbaden, in the western part of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main Region; in the modern age, Frankfurt shares much of its regional importance.

George,
This is a nice shot of this famous tower. Your composition is fine framing the tower nicely with the buildings on both sides. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. Too bad the scaffolding is in the shot, I guess you will have to go back later and take this shot again! (Ha Ha)
TFS,
Asa
