Double timber-framed perspective, a photo from Sachsen-Anhalt, Est

Photographer's Note

Die doppelte Fachwerkperspektive

Wernigerode is a small town in the province Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, at the foot of the Harz Mountains. Wernigerode was the capital of the medieval County of Wernigerode and Stolberg-Wernigerode. In 1815, after the Napoleonic Wars, it became part of the Prussian Province of Saxony. During the time of Communist East Germany, the town was very close to the inner German border. Wernigerode became part of the restored state of Saxony-Anhalt in 1990 after German reunification.

Crowned by a castle on the hill and with a town hall of 1498 which is considered to be one of the finest half-timbered buildings in Germany, it's one of the most delightful towns in the region. Many of its narrow streets are lined with old half-timbered houses still intact. Some of the quaint old houses which have escaped the numerous fires through the years are elaborately adorned with wood-carving.

This is the third upload in the series of timber-framed perspectives, so now it is possible to start a theme... :)

Bonsoir Alexander
Une belle perspective sur cette rue pavée qui laisse deviner des façades bien colorées.Dommage que le soleil n'était pas de la partie.
Bonne soirée Isabelle

Ciao Alexander,
non fosse per le auto in sosta potrebbe sembrare un'immagine riflessa, il doppio POV è bello, l'effetto è straordinario. Perfette qualità e colori.
Un caro saluto
Giorgio

Hello Alexander,

An intriguing point of view, that results in a sense of symmetry in the composition!
Otherwise I notice the fine details in the cobblestones, and the DoF covers well all of the frame...
Lovely colours too!

Greetings,

You found a great POV to manage this shot with amazing depth.
Wonderful old architecture and good composition with this tree a bit out of the center.

At the beginning I thought it was a trick done in PP...
Well, a place worth photographing for sure!
You managed to get a neat composition in spite of the cars. And the sharpness is just what we need.
Very fine,
Donato
