Gate VI..., a photo from Bayern, Ouest

Photographer's Note

Fortress has many gates, you might want to show them.

Würzburg is a city in the region of Franconia, Northern Bavaria, Germany. Located on the Main River, it is the capital of the Regierungsbezirk Lower Franconia. The regional dialect is Franconian.

Marienberg Fortress is a prominent landmark on the left bank of the Main river in Würzburg, in the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany. The mighty Fortress Marienberg is a symbol of Würzburg and served as a home of the local prince-bishops for nearly five centuries. It has been a fort since ancient times. Most of the current structures originally were built in Renaissance and Baroque styles between the 16th and 18th centuries. After Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden conquered the area in 1631 during the Thirty Years' War, the castle was reconstructed as a Baroque residence. After it ceased to serve as residence of the Bishops of Würzburg, the fortress saw repeated action in the wars of the late 18th and 19th centuries. Festung Marienberg was severely damaged by British bombs in March 1945 and only fully rebuilt in 1990. Today, it houses two museums.

Bonjour, cher Christophe,
Décidément cette forteresse possède un nombre de portes impressionnant. Cela n'est pour nous déplaire puisque nous pouvons admirer la qualité de la construction et de ses décorations sculptées.
Très bon sujet.
Très bonne journée.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Witaj Krzysztof,
So many gateways must have made this fortress very difficult to defend; nevertheless, they make a fine set of subjects for the keen photographer with their lovely decorative detail. I like the point of view and the foreground light and shadow contrasts. The sky looks as if it has been slightly over worked in the post-processing. Good textural detail.

Bonjour Krzysztof,

J'ai comme l'impression que tu as fait le tour de toute ces portes. Ici, j'ai l'impression que l'on entre dans l'ombre, mais j'aime bien la lumière au niveau supérieur.

Amicalement

Serge

Czesc Krzysztof,
Kazda z tych bram jest inna, moze okres w ktorym budowano mury obronne byl az tak bardzo rozciagniety w czasie, ze poszczegolne bramy wygladaja jak z innych epok.Ta schowala sie w cieniu, ale widocze sa dobrze ozdobne detale.Ciekawa prezentacja
pozdrawiam
Piotr
