Build a bonfire, build a bonfire —
Fire it is for A Photo a Week.
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.
Cherry blossoms
The Japanese cherry trees in the the castle gardens of Schwetzingen have been standing in exact rows for well over 200 years. Some had to be replaced but many of the original trees still stand. Their blossoms are usually the first to announce the arrival of spring – setting of the sequence of the annual cycle.
This is for Thursday’s Special where you can find more photos with the subject of sequence.
Am I being to literal?
When I read the prompt for today’s Daily Post challenge I immediately thought of this fellow. Cheeky indeed, literally and figuratively.
If found him clinging to the corner of a house in Oberursel, Germany. Don’t stand too close!
More cheeky photos can be found at The Daily Post/photo-challenges/cheeky/ .
Pigeon, pixelated
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge Alphabet has reached P: needs to have at least 5 letters and start with p. More contributions to this challenge are here.
In the direction of the wind
I can make out the words “IN THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND” and “IN RICHTUNG DES WINDES” and I think I can see the name “JANA” but not a last name. The mural is on the campus of the university of Lüneburg, Germany.
More murals can be found on Monday Murals.
Misty autumn and summery fun
