Ancient Aachen-4
Probably no other Dom in Germany has seen more action when it comes to Kings than the Imperial Cathedral or Kaiserdom of Aachen fitting since it is the oldest church in Northern Europe.
The Kaiserdom houses the remains of the first great European unifier come saint Charlemagne and has coronated 30 Kings and Holy Roman Emperors since the 12th century.
Besides its importance to the German nobility it is also a pilgrimage church of the people and chock full of relics that are out for display every seven years when the new cycle of pilgrimage begins, the list of relics include: Christ’s loin cloth from the crucifixion; a cloak of Mary’s; the cloth that shrouded John the Baptists head when he was decapitated and finally the swaddling clothes of Jesus.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens at 70mm 1/25, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, Topaz Denoise, PS (Lumenzia curves masks and DXO Nik Color Efex)
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
