Roman Wall Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Back to my summer trip to Austria and Germany.
This is a piece of the old Roman wall in Regensburg. It seems that they have preserved the ancient wall by incorporating it into the more recent construction.
Regensburg is located in Bavaria, Germany, located at the confluence of the Danube and Regen rivers, at the northernmost bend in the Danube. To the east lies the Bavarian Forest. Regensburg is the capital of the Bavarian administrative region Upper Palatinate. The large medieval center of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Hallo Asa!
Germans seem to be resourceful! ;-)) I've never seen this - but this really is worth a photo. A wonderful and most interesting architectural detail of this famous city. One even can see the steeples of its cathedral (I think).
Greetings from wet and cool Germany!

Bonjour Asa
on a su montrer et garder une partie de la vieille architecture en encastrant la nouvelle, ce qui donne un très beau look dans un superbe ciel.
Amitiés

Bonjour Asa,
L'idée est originale et le résultat est une réussite.
Les architectes de Regensburg ont su allier la préservation des vestiges du passé dans la vie de tout les jours.
Belle composition qui rend bien cette originalité.
Amicalement

Hi Asa,
Very interesting to see all those old stones of the Roman wall built into the relatively modern house. All the people here are adding a lot of life here, but it would certainly be more interesting to meet all those persons who once built this wall...
Best regards
Gunnar

Hi Asa,

The diagonal line made by the street is an asset to the composition. The presence of the people has an effect of scale. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the roman wall and of the building. The quality of the light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Asa,
Nice daily life view of Regensburg. Interesting incorporation of the Roman wall with medieval architecture. I didn't see this building when I made a brief visit there. Regards. Latiff.

Bonjour, cher Asa,
Voilà une photographie pas commune ! Ce mur datant de l'occupation romaine intégré dans une maison possède un intérêt manifeste. De plus, nous avons le droit à deux flèches en arrière-plan dressant fièrement leur fine architecture.
Une très bonne photographie.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Asa,
I appreciate the image, very useful to show the beauty and the historical interest, and also the ingeniousness of the inhabitants to integrate the old stones in the construction industries in order to preserve them. Beautiful light and colors. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Hi Asa,
Beautiful capture of this beautiful German architecture that is seen in bright mid day light.
Love how the old Medieval buildings are seen in bright light and stand out so well against the vivid blue sky while the pedistrians are seen in peaceful afternoon shadows.
Regards, Tom

Bonjour Asa,
une photo qui pour moi manque un peu de résolution et de netteté mais dont les couleurs sont splendides. Une architecture vraiment particulière, qui vaut la photo, de bonnes lumières pour en voir les détails.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hallo Asa,
LOL at least they saved on building costs by reusing this old piece of wall, and in the building industry the older the better, not sure modern structures will stand as lond as this wall, good documentary image.
Have a nice day JY

It is amazing to see when they are able to use the old original stones from times past and incorporate them into the newer architecture. In this case it seems they made a good job of it. Interesting to see someone else taking a photo of it.
