An open topic for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge.






These photos are not strictly black and white but desaturated. I couldn’t get myself to rob them of all their glorious colour, even the white ones.

The walls of the Heidelberg castle have stood in their ruined state for the last 300 years and have become a magnet for romanticists and romantics alike.
This is for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge. More walls can be found here.

The Abbey of Lorsch is a UNESCO world heritage site, close to Worms in the Rhine Valley, about 60km south of Frankfurt. It was an important monasteries during the Carolingian times. Through one of the arches of the “kingdom hall” one can look upon the monastery’s church.


Three arches, facing north and south, lead into the main room.





There are innumerable ways to play with these arches and their vistas. This time I preferred to try out desaturation.
