The Gold between the Trees

· 7 Comments ·

When you go walking on Wiesbaden’s Neroberg there is no way you’re going to miss the Orthodox Russian church. You are walking through the woods and suddenly you round a corner and you’re hit with a flash of gold!

And because this is squares I could not leave without sharing the pair of tights one of our runners was wearing:

A Power that Directly Influences the Soul

· 13 Comments ·

It was so grey yesterday, I thought I needed to get some colour in my pictures and in my soul.

The location was in Wiesbaden in front of the Russian-orthodox church on the Neroberg, one of the hills that the capital of Hesse is built on.

“Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.”

Wassily Kandinsky

The church, the view over Wiesbaden, the foresters’ machine at the back and the woods where we came towards the site.

Alpha and Omega

A und O, Alpha und Omega, Anfang und Ende

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

Winston Churchill

And that includes the cobwebs.

One church, four views

I approached this church, walking up a slight incline.  I tried the tree on the right as a frame:

34 church a (640x480)

Getting a bit nearer it looked like this:

34 church c (640x480)

Even closer, and now in portrait:

34 church d (480x640)

And once again, on a different day:

34 church e (480x640)

Although the subject lends itself to a portrait format because of the spire I prefer the first and second shot (the second more than the first).

This is for Paula’s Thursday’s Special with the given task once over.  Okay, it was a few more than that.  More different looks on the same subject can be found here.
