Wonderful I think I must visit Bamberg after seeing Your photos
Ginnie: It's really a great German city, Adrian! And the thing is, we saw many of them...all just as splendid as this one. Thanks.

Your processing gives it a wonderful look.

That building is really beautiful. The rich gold coloring, and the murals are really amazing! Wonderful shot Ginnie!
Ginnie: Thank you, Elizabeth. It might have been better if I had left this in the true colors because it really is a spectacular building!

Wow Ginnie, this is very impressive Baroque work. Hang on though, isn't there some cheating going on, that looks like a painting. Still it looks good. What a lovely scene.
Ginnie: There was a lot going on in this place, Chad, for sure. I wouldn't mind going back for a longer stay! Thanks.

We were there on a beautiful day. This City Hall is the most beautiful I ever saw and on a very remarkable spot, on an island.
I love the warm light in this picture and your title!
Last week I posted a different angle.

This place simply oozes charm Ginnie, cobbles always make a difference. I like the effective trompe l'oeil on the side of the building
Ginnie: You'd go crazy in this place, Chris. Short of eyes, as Astrid would say! Many thanks.
Wonderful light and colour tones!
Ginnie: Many kind thanks, Wolfgang.

a very cosy, typical scene in such an old German town like Bamberg - Bamberg was one of the favourite places of my granny and my mother. We stayed there at the Baroque Hotel. First I thought Chad were grabing here at the books in the boxes!
Ginnie: What a place for memories, Philine. I can just imagine the history families might share in a place like this. Hartstikke bedankt.
This is an awesome photo.

Reminds me soo much of Copenhagen.

The architecture and the gold coloring brings out the beauty in the picture.

Every picture has a story to tell and this speaks loads.

Nice...
Ginnie: I just read your About page, Preyi, and I do like your phrase "every picture has a story to tell." Thank you for your very kind comment here.
Wonderful light and tones here Ginnie. Enjoy your weekend!
Ginnie: Thank you, Richard, and the same to you! Merci.
The artwork on that building is amazing Ginnie
Ginnie: It really is, Bill, especially when you see it in real life! Thank you.

An amazing building -the painting on the wall on the left hand side is so effective!
Ginnie: You'd go bonkers here, Sarah! I still can't believe we saw it with our own eyes. Thanks.

Such beautiful buildings. Looks to be a cool day but it does not stop people enjoying the sunshine. Happy weekend to you, too!
Ginnie: You nailed it, Alan. Very cold but the sunshine brought everyone out of the woodwork. smile Thanks.

This is what makes Europe so beautiful! Love the ancient architecture and view through to the other side!
Ginnie: As an architect, Marcie, I can just imagine how you would see Europe! I think I may have been one in my past life. smile Thanks.

Would love to see the original shot just to compare.
The golden light is awesome, Ginnie. Does the building on the left have carvings or painted to look so?

A lovely spot combining old and new. No high heels allowed (think of Oscar Wilde's quote for "man" .... which is mankind, I think, and includes the ladies). smile

Great street photo, like the warm tones!
Oh, I like the hubbub of life and all the rich details and textures in this lovely composition Ginnie! Thank you for today's comment... I had to smile because I am the least impressive fellow to meet in person, and most definitely an odd bird! But it would be fun to meet for sure :^)
There's some lovely artistry on that wall and what a great archway. This place looks like a 3 memory card venue to me!!
like the warm, timber tone in this image. great shot
That's a beautifully ornate balcony!

Seems to be a neat place. They should have great pubs too smile
Compliments to the conversionist.
belle ambiance dorée
It would take me a loooong time to 'pass through' this delightful area, Ginnie. So much charm & beauty and you've captured it all in this marvelous image.

This looks a fascinating place. Enjoy your weekend!
Have a nice weekend Ginnie, this looks inviting
with a book stall, everything in German though. I like the view through the gate.
Wow, the trompe l'oeil is really a masterpiece!
Bamberg looks like a great place to visit.
