Der Schaiblingsturm Photo

Photographer’s Note

The central structure in this picture is the Schaiblingsturm. It is a tower built around the year 1250. It lies on the shore of the Inn river. More information abour this tower can be found here.
I shot this photo from the bridge connecting Passau to Innstadt over the Inn river, where I marked it in the map feature. The big trees to the right of the picture are in a park that is the extreme of a "peninsula" formed by the union of the Inn and Danube rivers. When they join, they form a sort of big river for some distance.

Hello Jurgen,
splendid Schaiblingsturm with a very beautiful architecture. I like the forms very much, and the context in which it is inserted is very good.
Best regards Siggi

Hey Jurgen,

Great light conditions formed a very nice photo. The village on the back adds a lot to the composition.

Very well done,

Jurgen,
This is a great shot with nice warm lighting. The colors are fine with excellent sharpness and detail. The angle of the shot is nice giving the scene nice direction and depth.
See Ya tomorrow,
Asa

Hello Jurgen,

For someone like me who grew up in Passau, this shot looks very unusual, almost weird. It gives the impression that the hills seen in the background are very close, while in reality they are pretty far away.
Anyway, it's a great shot with wonderful light. Looks like the Inn river had a lot of water at the time you took the shot!

Thanks for sharing and greetings from/to Munich ;o)
Claudia

The light is simply exquisite, the village in the distance further complements the scene.
