Buddenbrooks House, a photo from Schleswig-Holstein, West

Photographer's Note

Recent Lars’ photos from his trip to Northern Germany encouraged me to go back again to my archives.

Lubeck is proud of two Nobel Prize winners in literature. One of them being Thomas Mann, who was born there. Buddenbrooks was the first and possibly one of the most popular novels by Thomas Mann, this was the title which was mentioned in the Nobel Prize award he received later. Buddenbrooks was a story about a family who was fictional yet coincidentally resembled his own family members. In fact, concrete names were assigned to each person in the book. That didn’t make him very popular in family circles.

Buddenbrooks House (in this photo) is Thomas Mann's family house, presently museum dedicated to the author.

What I found personally interesting about his life was that he lived in Lubeck, Los Angeles and Munich, same places I had a pleasure to live in for couple of years each.

Hello Mariusz,
A beautiful photo of this house in Lübeck. The façade is wonderful, just as the brick one next to it. The warm illuminations are lovely, especially with the blue evening sky and the reflections in the windows.

Hello Mariusz,
Can this still be a coincidence? Or are you unknowingly such a big fan of Thomas Mann that your choice of place of residence is influenced by him?
If you are secretly writing a book, your family may have to start worrying about their privacy ... :)
The white facade colours beautifully pink under the late afternoon light. The three facades are each different but look very pretty on this excellent blue hour photo.
Best regards, Paul

Mariusz, the author Thomas Mann lived in a cosy house I think. It is surrounded by red brick buildings. It has two storeys and many windows. A cycle parking is planned in the street at the foot of the house. Good light management, fine colors

Hello Mariusz,
An enchanting blue hour composition. Well exposed with delightful warm/cool colour contrasts. I like the overall mood and the presence of the bicycles.

Royaldevon (79728) 2019-05-26 2:26

Hello Mariusz,

As always, interesting notes to accompany your photograph.
What makes this stand out particularly is how well stands out from the adjoining buildings. It is brighter, lighter and has the buildings either side as contrasts.
You have angled your shot nicely.
Three always makes a good number for composition!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Light gave an exquisite, wondeful tones to the orange painted facade, Mariusz.
Did not reckon Thomas Mann's family house was in this town.
Learning new stuff day by day on TE.
Good evening,
Ike

Hello Mariusz.
A nice contrast between the facades of these two buildings, which also differ in the intensity of lighting, nice contrast with the sky at the blue hour.
Very good color that gives strength to the image.
Magnificent management of brightness and sharpness, to enjoy the details.
Well seen and done. I like it.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello, Mariusz!

Wonderful architecture of this façade, captured with excellent light, which makes its bright colors stand out beautifully among its neighbors! Perfect sharpness too, and very nice perspective to show that! Beautiful job!

fabianoleite (13575) 2019-06-05 18:45

I like the imponent shape of this construction, as well as its color, and the composition with the bikes was nice. Well done, my friend!

Ciao Mariusz
strana coincidenza, hai vissuto nelle stesse città del famoso scrittore, credo che tu possa essere orgoglioso di questo.
Ottima foto notturna, un pezzo della letteratura mondiale ha abituato qui.
Saluti
Carlo

Hi Mariusz

I like the warm cold colour contrast between the chocolate red and the yellowish orange colors on the sides of the buildings, contrasting with the blue sky. Good sharpness, and I like the vertical format. Thanks for sharing.
