Quoth the Raven

· 10 Comments ·
The original.

Or possibly it’s a rook or a crow or a corbie.

Like many outdoor sculptures this raven was not easy to photograph as one has little influence on the background if the bird stands in the middle of a private garden.

  • Lots and lots of backlighting added.
  • A change of the colour tint.
  • The area around the head left untouched, the rest of the photo changed to impressionist dabbing.
  • Similar effect, except that the surrounds are deliberately made grainy.

This tree stands inside the castle ruin of Lindenfels. It is already old but the tree doctors are doing everything to keep it alive and have put in splints so that it doesn’t topple over. Burg Lindenfels was first mentioned in 1123 and thus has a really long past to look back to.

This wayside shrine is standing on top of hill and it had snow on top. Nowadays no new shrines are erected in Germany but they are a reminder of a more outwardly religious past.
