[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For the Friday theme, a very old picture, again, lomography, taken with Smena 8M. It used to be East Germany back then. One of their car brands was named Wartburg after this beautiful castle. It was one of those smelly two-stroke engine cars (the better known of them was the Trabant).
I remember one of the tourist attractions in the castle was the ink stain that Martin Luther supposedly left on the wall when he threw his ink-pot at the devil who was tempting him. We were told that the stain had to be repeatedly repainted because tourists kept scraping it off as a souvenir. (This reminds me a bit of the famous blood stain in Oscar Wilde's "The Canterville Ghost".)

The graininess adds to the old architecture.
B&W is appropriate too. TFS. K2

This an "old" picture of an old building - that is a double for the Friday theme. Interesting notes included my friend. They had quite a view from this location.

Hello Tibi,
Great POV and a beautiful and balanced composition. Great detail and atmosphere. It gaves the feel of beeing in the top of the world. Very well done my friend.

Szia Tibi!

A régi, analóg képeket (pl. édesapámról csak ilyen létezik) kemény munka fogyaszthatóvá tenni. Gratulálok!

Hello Tibi


Interesting visual aerial of this castle,
the one that me more taste is the details in the roofs of these constructions.
The place I think very beautiful, I imagine he colors her.
Congratulations

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Holy Trinity - old building sepia’

Hi Tibi,

very fascinating old image, it's a pity for the low quality.

Salut Tibi! Excelenta perspectiva si prelucrare sepia a fotografiei vechi! E interesanta, in egala masura, cu intreaga compozitie, linia intrerupta a acoperisului. Faptul ca imaginea e de fapt,o "lomografie" explica blur-ul...la o prima privire, lipsa de focus parea sa fie cauzata de scan.
Toate cele bune!
Diana
p.s. imi cer scuze...revin maine cu punctele...mi le-am papat pe ziua de azi!
