The Black Gate

The Porta Nigra (Latin for black gate) is a large Roman city gate in Trier, Germany. It is today the largest Roman city gate north of the Alps and has been designated a World Heritage Site.

 

This definitely is the most known land mark in Trier. I wanted to share a picture of it with you and have straightened it, cropped it and worked on it. Still not that happy with it, but what is a photo set of Trier without the Porta Nigra, right?!

 

Exposure: 1/4th of a second at 12 mm, iso 500, f3.5, handheld.
