After days and days of rain this afternoon at last some sun, so I had to take my bike and my camera...

Castle Sigmundskron (Castel Firmiano in italian) lays on a hill just outside Bolzano - Bozen. It was mentioned for the first time in 945 AD. In the 20th century it was a ruin for many years, though in 1957 a historic demonstration took place when many thousands german speaking people gethered there protesting aganist the politics of itlianisation of the central governement (but everything has changed since: see here). Nowadays (since 2006) the castle is a mountain museum lead by Reinhold Messner, the famous climber (see here - only in italian and german).

As workshops i post other two views of the castle.

Ciao Guenther.
L'inquadratura è molto semplice e centrale, però il gioco di luci e ombre da una bella tridimensionalità.
Ottima nota esplicativa.
Ciao, Bobo.

Hi Guenther

Superb sharpness, with a good upward pov on the Castle Sigmundskron. I like the 3 primary colours of green red & blue. Tfs!

Ciao Guenther, bellissimo questo castello abbarbicato sopra il verde colle, ottimo POV e grande nitidezza, bravo, ciao Silvio

Located at the top of the hill affords the castle a wonderful position for defence. Your low POV works very well to emphasise its dominance. You also chose the perfect corner to photograph to make the best use of the light for good contrasts. I think I actually prefer the wider view you present in the WS as the dominance of the castle is even more apparent. A good all round presentation. Well done
Kath

Ciao Guenther.
Vista imponente, bella profilatura del castello rispetto al cielo. Trovo un'armonia compostiva notevole nonostante la presumibile finalità ostentativa della costruzione.

Bonjour, cher ami Guenther,
Je suis passé à côté de cette très belle réalisation, aussi, je vais me rattraper très rapidement pour dire tout le bien que j'en pense !
Cette motte féodale possède fière allure et semble passer les siècles avec le plus grand bonheur.
Une très bonne et très intéressante prise de vue.
Amitiés.
Philippe
