Tag: Heidelberger Schloss
Perpetuum repairé
The landmark of Heidelberg – the castle above the historical town – was destroyed during the 17th and 18th century, by war and fire and fires caused by war. It has been partially rebuilt but its fame is founded on its pictorial decay. Yet even this decay now needs care. The castle is hardly ever without some kind of scaffolding. A few years ago it was even advertised in the local newspapers that it would be free of any kind of visible building activities for a whole of two weeks. On the next rain-free day my sister and I went to take pictures of this unusual event. Alas – look closely:

Don’t live life sitting on the fence. Sit on walls instead.
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.
