Found on the aptly named Elephant House in Michelstadt.
Linked to Lines&Square: #13 in October.

The house was built by weaver and ribbon maker Hans Schellhorn in 1682 in the town of Bensheim.

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.

Cee writes on her block: For a great monochrome photo “look for contrast or highly textured subjects to photograph”. — Half-timbered houses then for me!
