Kapellbrücke, a photo from Luzern, West

Photographer's Note

The covered bridge, constructed in 1333, was designed to help protect the city of Lucerne from attacks. Inside the bridge are a series of paintings from the 17th century depicting events from Luzerne's history. Much of the bridge, and the majority of these paintings, were destroyed in a 1993 fire, though it was quickly rebuilt.
Adjoining the bridge is the 140 feet (43 m) tall Wasserturm (Water Tower), an octagonal tower made from brick, which has served as a prison, torture chamber, watchtower and treasury. Today the tower, which is part of the city wall, is used as the guild hall of the artillery association. The tower and the bridge are Lucerne's trademark and form the most photographed monument in the country.

Hi Bill,
nice photo of a much photographed bridge with a very good pov. You have a good eye! With the difficult light that you had, I would personally have done more pp (brighten, saturate, sharpen) to give the photo more emphasis.
Take care,
Linda

Ciao Bill
Foto interessante con il ponte in legno che offre profondità a tutta la veduta.
I toni scuri rendono antico il borgo e realistico il ponte.
Uno scatto inediti, per me, ed interessante.
