Hello Frank,

Very spacious and large basilica. The brick construction is nice and simple. I wonder at the dimensions of such a building, being so high and with so many windows to allow lots of light. Excellent composition Frank.

Hallo Frank!
Schön,daß Du diesen einmaligen Raum zeigst.Ich war überwältigt von der Architektur als ich ihn betrat.Mir gefallen hier die Asymetrie und die Rottöne.Das Licht ist auch toll.
Ich poste einen workshop,vom Altar und hoffe daß ich Dir kein Bild vorwegnehme.
Gruß,Andreas

Hello Frank,
A good capture of this vast interior whose dimensions we can only guess at by reference to the visitors and the serried ranks of chairs. I like the off-centre point of view. Lovely warm tones in the brickwork and excellent clarity.

Hallo Frank. Die Basilika ist beeindruckend, und die Architektur außergewöhnlich. In dem riesigen Bau müssen sich die Menschen winzig und unbedeutend fühlen. Mir gefällt an der Basilika, dass sie vom Tageslicht gut beleuchtet ist. Ein sehenswertes Photo. Viele Grüße aus Kassel, Wolfgang.

Long ago, back in USSR times, Trier was known as a Karl Marx Geburstag place, :)
No more of this now. And such a interesting place you shot, it's so unbeleivably old! IV century, well. It was still 400 years for first guys named "Rus" to appear in chronicles and being described like pagan, fierce and war-loving half-Slavonic and half-Scandinavian people! :)
Really interesting and specific photo.

Hallo lieber Frank,
Wunderbar ! Wieder tolles Blickwinkel und perfektes Licht. Gute schaerfe und das eller wichtigste, ein Raum wo man sich nicht von irgendwelchen Schnoerkeleien etc ablenken laesst.
Man ist alleine mit sich selbst und dem Allmaechtigen.
Nicht aber zuletzt tolle Beschreibungen.
Danke schoen und ein schoenes Wochhenende
Mfg

Hello Frank,
An impressive interior has been captured!
What comes to my mind is the lack of decorative elements outside the architecture itself, and the bare brick wall match well the chairs on the floor...
A well exposed image with fine light management!
greetings,

Hello Frank,
The powerful space, lines of chairs, and in the distance the very modest altar. The coated vault with splendid coffers - how I suppose with performed from wood. Whole very tidy, simple and in no respect reminding temples of the period of the Baroque or Renaissance. Is Here visible God as on the hand. Is Simply , all set to of listening of our tangled matters. Simple picture without sophisticatings, very true inwards of this temple. Natural colours and good light in spite of very best terms.
Best regards with Mosina,
Jurek

Hi Frank
Nice photo from a very interesting place. I like the simplicity of the church in contrast of churches of orthodox that i'm familiar. Very good light and details especially at WS photo.
TFS - Regards

Frank bonsoir.
On est frappé par les dimensions et les proportions de cet édifice mais ce qui est le plus remarquable c'est la clarté, il faudra attendre le gothique pour la retrouver. Merci de cette présentation et de la note explicative, je me coucherai ce soir un peu moins bête.

Hallo Frank,
die Basilika ist sowieso erstaunlich, wenn man aber das Baudatum bedenkt - es verschlägt einem den Atem! Ich bin gespannt, was wir dort zu spüren bekommen.
Viele Grüße

This is an impressive image, Frank, showing the structure of this amazing and ancient building.The building is an amazing testament to the engineering and architectural skills of the Romans.I agree with you comment about the purity of the architecture, but I wonder what happened to all the embellishments, the marble, the sculptures etc that would once have been there. Regards kevin
