with windows in half-timbered houses. These are all from Lindenfels, a small town in the Odenwald. If you look closely you will see the dragons sitting in front of the middle one.

Two windows from a half-timbered house in Michelstadt im Odenwald. These days, this style of architecture is often redone in colour rather than in the customary black/brown and white but I haven’t seen one in terracotta hues before. Here is the whole house (as often is the case, difficult to photograph because they stand in narrow streets):

Walls and beams
I adore half-timbered houses and they are so well suited to monochrome photos because of the stark contrast they display.
This house stands in the old part of town of Weinheim.
This one in the even older part of the town (although many don’t know this). Both are a few hundred years old.
A farmhouse from the Odenwald showing the typical stone foundation with the half-timbered first floor and a later finished attic floor with shingles.
All these examples are from the southwest of Germany. But I was in the north a few weeks ago and the styles in houses is completely different.
The contrast in the brickwork again is ideally suited to monochrome photography.
Contrast it is also with this heavily ornamented house.
The sepia-toned photography makes this house – it is part of the monastry of Lorsch, a UNESCO world heritage site – timeless. It could have been taken 100 years ago, or last summer (which it was).
This is for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge with the subject of — houses.

Whether it’s a really old building (beautifully renovated) or
a relatively modern (yet dilapidated) building – a section makes often not only a better photo, it can often show the essence more completely.
