The Steipe Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The Steipe (the name refers to the arcade supports in local dialect) was built in the 15th century for ceremonial functions for the city councillors and dignitaries. The house was destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt in 1970.

The Red House on the left side was the house of the bakers' guild master and secretary of the cathedral chapter, Johann Wilhelm Polch. The most important inscription on its facade tells of the legend that Trier is 1300 years older than Rome. (ANTE ROMAM TREVIRIS STETIT ANNIS MILLE TRECENTIS)

The deep blue sky really looks magnificent. I'd say the contrast levels are perfect since there are no dull or greyish areas to be found anywhere. The composition is quite straightforward but this really allows the building to stand out.

Ciao caro Laszlo,
la bellezza architettonica di questi edifici si aggiunge alla suggestione della nuvola bianca che contrasta magnificamente con il cielo blu. I tuoi POV sono sempre perfetti. Bravissimo, come sempre!

Hallo László!
Ja, die habe ich auch vielfach verewigt, die Steipe. Der Polarisationsfilter hat wieder gute Arbeit geleistet und mir gefällt besonders, wie klar das Weiß des Putzes hier wiedergegeben ist. Du hattest hier wirklich ideale Bedingungen beim Fotografieren und Dein Foto bringt das wirklich toll rüber.
Grüße an die ganze Mannschaft im Hause König - und ein schönes Wochenende aus Siegen! Wir gehen zur Zeit im Schneematsch unter ...

Un coin de Trier qui me semble bien elabore et une place ou on se plaise de se rendre avec son Nikon. Tu as su tres bien materialiser ta promenade et comme toujours je suis fier de tes temgnages. D'un touriste sage et intellignet.

Tres content de t'avoir revu, cher ami. Concentre toi, le printemps ne manquera pas.

das ist ja ein interessantes Haus, fast Burgähnlich mit Zinnen. Und das Dach ist auch außergewöhnlich. Warum fahre ich eigendlich in ferne Länder, ich glaub, ich muß mal einen Deutschland-Streifzug einplanen.
Und die Wolkenfromation ist natürlich das i-Tüpfelchen deiner Komposition, sehr schön fotografiert
Viele Grüße,

Laszlo,
Your have done a great job of capturing this fine architecture. The angle of the shot is fine giving the scene depth. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The people gives the shot a good sense of scale.
TFS,
