Up Square

· 3 Comments ·

This was the first past square I decided on (I worked my way the alphabet up and posted the photos the alphabet down) and I don’t quite remember why I considered it an up square. There are two birds up on the roof? The scaffolding was up one day without warning (at least, I wasn’t told beforehand)? The ladder on the left leads upward? Anywho – it’s a square about preserving the past.

Quoth the Raven

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.

Tree Square

· 2 Comments ·

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.
