A natural frame.
Framed by a tree.
The tree frame is taking over.

Friendly Friday Challenge: Framing your subject
I was nominated by Teresa and by Margaret to post one travel picture a day for ten days without explanation, then to nominate someone else to participate. That’s 10 days, 10 travel images, and 10 nominations.
The photos I am going to show in this challenge are from travels around Germany and where chosen to introduce my German language students to various German sites.
Here is my fourth one:
Today I would like to nominate Jez (you were foolish enough to like my #3 post). There is no pressure to participate, though. But if you share some of your travel photos, have fun! I’ll definitely have a look.
Hexagons.
Hexagons and lines.
The front of the gatehouse of the 9th-century Imperial Abbey of Lorsch in Germany. It’s one of few completely preserved buildings from the Carolingian area and is a UNESCO heritage site.
And now for something completely different:
I found this but cannot find the source:
geometry, the process:

More interpretation of the theme 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.
Title with apologies to Louis Kahn.
More Arches, Domes, Half Circles can be found on Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge.
Paula’s prompt (traces of the past) and her use of selective colour started me thinking. We live in the colourful now and the past is often perceived only as little more than shadows, captured in stones, reflected in photos. But the past can also be much more colourful and have a remarkable presence which lets our mundane life seem pale in comparison, depending on where our focus lies.
Which version comes closer to your vision?
(The photo was taken at Lorsch abbey in Germany.)
