Mural in sunshine, a photo from Hessen, West

Photographer's Note

The artist Frieder Deventer painted in 1987 the mural with the city of Florence. Yesterday's photo shows a detail of the scene. Today I photographed the entire wall in the sunlight. I think painting the wall was a good idea.

Greetings Wolfgang,

I like very much this upload, showing a slice of daily life from Kassel. The composition shows a relaxed city scene. The mural reveals the creativity of Frieder Deventer, and the photo, the skill of the photographer. It also confirms once and for all that digital photography has equaled and surpassed the results of analogue films. The best of slide film (Kodachrome and Fujichrome) could not have produced better colors and resolution. Indeed, the jigsaw puzzle structure is seen clearly.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Dear Wolfgang,

The mural and the city buildings - when placed side-by-die, seems to indicate the progression of time; what was before and is now.....yet, the two seems to blend together well here in your composition ! Nice work !

TFS,
May

Hello Wolfgang, this is a very good idea to paint buildings like that. I like the puzzle idea. This should give a hint to our city mayors because here are lots of comunist grey blocks that look like hell. Good take, i like the activity on the street.
Regards!

Hi Wolfgang,
A nice idea to paint the facade like a jigsaw puzzle. The ladt pieces should not be too difficult to place, only blue sky. May be the "Sparkasse" will prevent someone to cover their logo...
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Wolfgang,
Indeed, this painting was a great idea here and the typical building has now an unique look! Very well seen scene and taken from a well selected POV. Well done!

Best,
Gosia

Hello Wolfgang,
This is graffiti of a kind that noone could complain of. The painting has certainly beautified that boring gable. It is also done in a funny way, resembling a jigsaw puzzle. This was a good idea by whoever thought it up. It seems less likely that a view of Kassel will ever adorn a wall in Florence.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Wolfgang,

You're capturing well this place by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's impressive to see the mural painting on building with the city of Florence. The whole is arranged well by buildings, street and the cars which has parked, and unified brightly by the sunlight.

Kind regards,
mikio

Bonjour Wolfgant,

J'aime beaucoup cette idée de transformer la murale en casse tête non terminé. L'idée est très originale et bien exécutée comme la photo.

Amicalement

Serge
