towering gate, a photo from Bayern, West

Photographer's Note

Maybe one more from Rotherburg-ob-der-Tauber...

---

THIS PICTURE shows one of the entrances to the town. An impressive gate, part of the rampants around the town, is guarded by an equally impressive watchtower. Those old Rotherburgers must have felt very threatened by whatever threatened them. Not sure if all this defence worked, though.

Dag Benny,

Uw reis naar Duitsland heeft veel mooie foto's opgeleverd.
Hier ook weer de toegangspoort met de speciale boog constructie.
De twee zij gebouwen passen natuurlijk in het volledig kader, samen met hoge toren er tussen
Goede samenstelling, bedankt.

Groeten uit Oost-Vlaanderen,
John

Hallo Benny,
Prachtig hoe die hoge toren boven het veel lagere poortgebouw uitsteekt. Het maakt een imposant gezicht en het contrast met de pasteltinten van de muren en de kleine torentjes is ook erg geslaagd. De bomen omlijsten de gebouwen mooi.

Hallo Benny,
Ook deze stadspoort met vooral de rode huisjes aan weerszijden en de torentjes lijken zo uit een sprookjesboek te komen.
De heel hoge toren die er dichtbij oprijst, geeft dan weer de indruk dat verdediging van het stadje belangrijk was.
Prachtige foto in mooie kleuren met een goede compositie en kadering met de takken aan beide zijden.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello Benny, this gateway is very impressive and also very beautiful.
Taken from the perfect viewpoint, the trees framing the tower, it is a picture postcard, lovely work.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Benny,

We have to look at this gate with a Middle Ages look. With a different painting, maybe just stones or bricks and maybe there was a wooden gate. Nice picture and explanatory note.
Congratulations

Ricardo

Hello Benny, Rothenburg deserves many photos, especially when you had such a wonderful blue sky as the background. Beautiful gate, these large stones are original. Nice trees from both sides.

Best regards Malgo

Hi Benny
This place looks like a mine of photo subjects! The architecture is charming, both for its shapes (love those roofs) and colours. Also the weather was perfect - the light is lovely and the blue of the sky complements the warm hues on the ground. Well used photo opportunity.
Have a nice Sunday
Kasia

Hi Benny
Nobody will miss the imposing tower which dominates the skyline of the old town. it's a fascinating place from the medieval world so very well detailed and composed scene with all the interests in one go. Really has the feel of the warmth in summer blessed by such brilliant weather, rich colour and superbly standout to blue sky. A joy to see this all through your eyes. Congrats.
Best regards

I liked a lot this view, the tower is rustic and imposing and the gate has curious adornments like faceted stones in the frame. excellent image. TFS this place I never had seen before.

take care
