[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken at the Nuremberg Castle which overlooks the beautiful city of Nuremberg. Nuremberg Castle, or Kaiserburg, is one of the most important castles in the history of the German Empire. Between 1050 and 1571 all the German and Holy Roman Emperors lived there at various times. Nuremberg Castle was built in stages on a sandstone hill on the north side of Nurembergs's old city and there are actually three parts to the castle: the Kaiserburg (Emperor's Castle) in the west and complete in itself, the Burggrafenveste (Count's Castle) in the middle and also the oldest part, and the Stadtburg (part belonging to the Imperial City) on the eastern side. It reached its massive present size and length of 220 meters in three stages of construction between the 11th and the 15th centuries.

It is an easy walk from the city center and quite a steep climb. I took this photo through the arch, but inadvertently cut off the top of the arch so I had to crop the photo. The photo is otherwise unchanged.

Good to see you're back, Allie.
About the picture: I like the difference between the colourfull light coming through the gate and the light on the innercourt, being "greyish". To me it indicates the timelapse between modern times and ancient times.
Atmosphere well caught.
Groet,
Joop.

Great shot Alli. I look forward to seeing more shots from Europe in the coming days. I'm glad to hear you made it back safe. Very nice shot and it kinda stinks you cut off the arch, but it happens. Cool shot though.

Great photo Alli. I like the effect of all the colours that are seen through the arch and the more dull stone foreground.
