Actually, two, since this statue of Kaiser Wilhelm II in Cologne, Germany, is not far from a statue of his grandfather, Wilhelm I near the Hohenzollern (that’s their family name) Bridge.
While there are numbers of equestrian statues of I in various parts of Germany, this is only one of two surviving of II, all that’s left of 63 that were built while he ruled, through the end of World War I.
If it seems huge, it is: it stands 19 metres high.

A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!
