Cross

The redevelopment of Riem included the construction of a new church centre. Instead of building separate churches the Catholics and Protestants of Munich decided to create a shared church centre, while retaining separate worship areas. To the Catholics it is known as St Florian's; to the Protestants it is Sophienkirche.

This image is of the top of the single tower that stands outside the main struture.

Thanks both.

Eamon, I'm using a basic DSLR - a Sony A200. This was taken using a Sony 55-200 lens, though my usual lens is a Tamron 17-50.
