Photographer’s Note
B&W converted view from the top of the castle on the old-town of Saarburg, Germany.
Wiki says:
Saarburg (pop. ~6,700) is a city of the Trier-Saarburg district in the Rhineland-Palatinate state of Germany, on the banks of the Saar River in the hilly country a few kilometers upstream from the Saar's junction with the Moselle.
The history of the city begins with the construction of the now-ruined castle by Graf Siegfried of Luxembourg in 964. It received its town charter in 1291. The city has a bell foundry, the Glockengießerei Mabilion, which has been in operation since the 1770s, and as of 2003 the only one in Germany that makes bronze bells. The area around Saarburg is noted for the cultivation of Riesling grapes.
Saarburg is the seat of the Verbandsgemeinde ("collective municipality") Saarburg.

Hi Mike!
What an amazing architecture photo! This looks like a fantastic town, like coming from a fairy tale, and the perfect choice of b&w enhances this feeling. I like those buildings so close the one to the other, give me a warm feeling. Great framing, perfect composition and light managment. Trully an outstanding photo! Congratulations!
