Once more back to last summer ...

This is the town-hall of Herborn in the federal state Hessen. The today's old houses of Herborn are mostly built in the 16th and 17th century and they compose a wonderful ensemble in the town center. More than 400 half-timbered houses like these are preserved in the Old Town and a walk in the streets and the alleys is an impressive experience. Especially the market place is a feast for the eyes.
Another view of the town-hall you can see in the workshop.

To admire this building in all it's particulars please look here.

Hi Frank,

Nice combination of buildings to offer a sample of Herborn. Some town hall looks better than others, particularly the ones that we don't have to go paying taxes....

The sun is still low in the sky, so you've caught some intense and well lit colours. Good use of the vertical frame.

Cheers!

André

Très belles maisons de type architectural différent à la luminosité très contrastée. J'aime beaucoup la décoration de l'angle de la maison blanche.

Hello Frank,

A beautiful town with excellent architectural details. The contrast created by the blue sky is excellent. The bright details on the buildings also enhance the appeal of the view. Good sharpness and perspective with an interesting note regarding this place. Thanks.

Hallo Frank. Wieder ein Photo aus dem schönen Hessen bei strahlendem Sonnenschein. Es ist wirklich ein Bild für das Auge, -und zwar auch für diejenigen, die Hessen kennen. Sehr schön. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

Bonjour Frank
Très jolies ces maisons à colombages qui s'élancent vers un ciel tout bleu. Nous en avons en Bretagne et tout parciculièrement à Dinan à une trentaine de kms de chez moi.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.
Nicole

bonjour,
une très belle photo avec beaucoup de lumière sur ces constructions typiques de la région, un batiment remarquable et ses maisons à colombages anciennes et toujours avec des jardinières fleuries
magnifique endroit et réalisation

Guten Morgen Frank,
sehr kraftvoll wirkender Standpunkt, er gibt den Häusern richtig Bedeutung. Schön das Licht, was dem Kontrast auch gegenüber dem Himmel gut tut und die Strukturen klar herausbringt. Etwas schade, das der Fokus im unteren Bereich nicht ganz scharf zeichnet.
Wintereinbruch vorbei? Hier schon. Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Frank,
There is obviously an abundance of beautiful half timbered houses in Germany. Herborn seems to be a must on the next trip! Very attractive picture!
Greetings from Gothenburg

Hello Frank,
A very appealing summery scene with some lovely architecture to admire. The people sitting on the bench soaking up the sun bring a nice touch of vitality. Colours and clarity are perfect.

Guten Tag Frank,

What a quiet autumn day with a nice pauzing place there on the bench against the lovely wall of this town-hall of Herborn.
Again this typical wood construction facade of the building to the right make this picture very attractive.
Composition and colours be superb.
Thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Frank!
Wonderful calеidoscope houses. Romantic timber beams crossing their facades and a lavish spring sunshine - what can be better?!
Anton

This is a great shot Frank, full of wonderful bright colours, just how I like them. The quality of the shot is impressive too - everything is nice and sharp and well composed.
Nice one.
Best wishes
Mark

Hello Frank,
Fine light gives attractive colours in these old houses!
I like the point of view that gives good depth in the composition, sharp fine details...
Seems like a nice place to live, and a nice place to visit!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Frank,
The architecture is great here and you have captured it beautifully. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The vertical framing of this shot works well showing the height of the buildings while giving us nice closeup details.
TFS,
Asa

Beautiful old building indeed, and a well done portrait of it and its surround from you, Frank, compliments.
Ciao

Hallo Frank,
auch dieses Fachwerkhaus ist ein schönes Stück! Mir gefallen besonders die zierlich geschittenen und bemalenen Kantenbalken.
Viele Grüße
