Gate IX..., 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,
Cette porte est protégée par une grille qui défend l'accès au site.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié les notes d'accompagnement et l'idée originale de présenter les différentes portes.
Il a fallu du courage pour se rendre à la forteresse (pente très marquée) et faire le tour de l'enceinte.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Bonjour Krzysztof,

Une belle image qui sort de l'ombre pour exploser dans la lumière. J'aime les textures et le jeu des ombres.

Amicalement

Hi Krzysztof.
Sensational the so magnificent perspective, this composition, the darkness of this first portal increased feel, about the sequence of doors that we through this gated.
Excellent POV, with very good lighting, color and sharpness to enjoy the details.
Very well done. I like.
Enjoy a good weekend.
Best wishes.
Luis.
