FranziskanerplatzApproaching from Singerstrasse
This beautiful small square was created at the beginning of the 17th century
through demolition of a building
in order to alleviate parking problems:
Worshippers of the Franciscan Church had complained
about a scarcity of parking spaces for their carriages.
We now find ourselves standing at a square
that is surrounded by buildings
that date back quite a few more years
than the square itself!

Great stuff, I'm a big fan of windows (not the computer kind)! A blue tinge, is that the real evening light, or are you using a filter to get that nice effect?
ReplyDeleteYes, the going thru the door shot is just fantastic and I was leaning into the computer!
ReplyDeleteAndre Veloux:
ReplyDeleteI don't own and don't use any filter.
In my mind, Franziskanerplatz is a symphony of grey and blue shades, and that particular day the contrast between sun and shade was really stark, stronger than usual, the time of year and the angle of the sun.
Saint Hieronymus looks like a very happy man in antique garb who happens to be standing on the roof!
ReplyDeleteWell-placed, indeed!
Margaret,
ReplyDeleteSaint Hyronymus has a perfect perch to watch the goings on in the square, especially during the warmer months. ;-)
Stunning, as always. I love the door and window shots....
ReplyDeleteI can not get my mind around the architecture.
