Description
_______Today, I really felt like posting this capture of the recently restored tower of the cathedral of Freiburg im Breisgau ( Germany ) ; the 116-meter octagonal and tapered tower had been almost totally hidden from view for quite some years and I had even forgotten how beautiful it was, with its steeple that looks like stone lace. The cathedral holds 19 bells, altogether 25 tonnes, making it one of the largest peals in Germany.It is the only Gothic church tower in Germany that was completed in the Middle Ages (1330), and miraculously, has lasted until the present, surviving the bombing raids of November 1944. Freiburg is for me the most beautiful and pleasant city of the Black Forest region facing the Vosges mountains across the borders with France, a city I regularly go to and enjoy visiting with unabated enthusiasm .

C'est vrai que cette "dentelle" architecturale est à couper le souffle par sa hardiesse et sa beauté! Que l'on soit croyant ou pas, les oeuvres inspirées par la foi il y a plus ou moins 1000 ans sont dignes de notre admiration! Ta prise de vue et la présentation sont superbes, Jean-Luc!

Beautiful backlight recording.

Ta belle photo à contre-jour fait bien ressortir la dentelle de pierre du clocher, et l'arbre apporte son pendant végétal........cette cathédrale doit en effet être très belle, et je suis impressionnée par le nombre et le poids des cloches ! Merci de partager, Jean-Luc !

Jolie capture de ces silhouettes! L'humain a du génie, c'est indéniable et je m'émerveille toujours devant ses capacités créatives. Ta photo correspond bien à mon humeur du moment en plus : un peu maussade et grisouille 😕 Du travail de pro!🥇🏆

Superbe point de vue

a beautiful shot full of balance. I also like the fact that the free range tree is in stark contrast to the straight line and hard-surface of the tower.

I see the pun here. :) Interesting contrast in this image: natural structures on one side, a man-made structure on the other, and both vying for attention!
