When life was different
I took new photos of something old. Michelstadt is a quaint little town in the Odenwald, the lower mountain range to the east of the Upper Rhine Valley. The old houses, particularly the half timbered ones, are so well suited to monochrome photography because of their contrasting structures. These photos are of the town wall encircling the inner part of the town. I chose a filter, inexplicably called “bandicoot” in my editing program, which is not as stark as black and white, yet not as mellow as sepia.
This is for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Anything new.
You can’t be sad when riding a bicycle
“I love to travel, but hate to arrive”
Albert Einstein
“Only 738 kilometer left until Kitzbühel” – I saw the bike in Düsseldorf, so it’s correct, give or take a kilometer.

Where I stand

Standpunkt in German has the double meaning of the point where I am standing and point of view. This particular standing point is on a hill near Mörfelden, south of Frankfurt, and one has a clear view of the city’s skyline.

Anything

In this part of the Odenwald, house fronts are often covered with wood shingles. In the old part of Michelstadt, they stand side by side with half timbered houses. I don’t know what the original colours were, but this one looked incredibly pretty in powder blue and white, the white flowers giving it almost a monochrome look.
