Rainy Cologne Carnival 2021 Due to Corona last year’s Cologne Carnival happened without the usual big parade which normally attracts some 1 million spectators. There were only a view disguised and (medically) masked people around the Cathedral, like this lonely photographer, who on top had to accept the dull atmosphere of cold rain. Luckily, he was willing to act as a model instead of capturing the non-existing carnival activities.
