While I did not visit Burg Thurant but I did make sure to get a lovely shot of it surrounded by vineyards and sitting on its slate shelf above the village of Alken.
The castle design is unique for a spur castle, if you notice there are two bergfrieds one at either end of the burg this is because of ownership of the castle was split between two rival Archbishops during the 13th century.
The Arch Bishops of both Trier and Cologne had designs on this castle so an agreement was brokered that would have them share the proceeds of the castle run by a burgrave (land manager) that they could both trust.
The manager of the property must have been the only one trusted by these two Archbishops because if you look carefully you see that this castle is really two castles jammed together, each half has its own entrance as well as its own living/domestic buildings and as mentioned bergfrieds.
Ownership of the castle remained this way for several centuries until the mid 16th when maintenance stopped and the castle fell into disrepair, it slayed pretty much this way until it was purchased in the early 20th century by a businessman who restored it to its former glory and it still remains in private hands today though you can visit from Mar-Nov for a fee.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens processed in LR, PS luminosity masks and DXO Nik
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.
I have been using this plaster cast head of Hermes (the Olympian Hermes, that is) as my photographic punching ball for years. The reason is that he has got endless amounts of patience with me. This shot was done outdoors, using a reflector. I like to shoot wide-open and, with a proper lens, one would get satisfying results. Compare this shot to the other one, number 1, taken with a different lens, though PP was exactly the same (edited in Fuji's raw converter and refined in Luminar). This shot was taken with the 7Artisans manual lens wide-open (F 1.2). This lens will not produce sharp focus wide-open and at close range. And yet it produces images with "character".

Meine lieben Jungens!
Hier sende ich Euch eine Ansicht von meinem Büro.
Wie gefällt Euch dieselbe?
Nun betrachtet mal meinen recht langen Brief.
Hier gibt’s fast nichts Neues.
Am Sonntag war ich in Bremerhaven
und habe die Europa besichtigt.
Herzliche Grüße von Haus zu Haus

As the late morning sun climbs higher over St. Louis, UP PJCPB 13 sweeps around the curve beneath the towering factory walls, streaking through the industrial corridor with UP 6079 leading a 10-car business train made up of Union Pacific’s streamlined heritage fleet cars. Navigating the city was no challenge for the stockholder special, having green signals all the way south before even crossing the river for a crew change.

Houston businessman Alfred Glassell, Jr. was a well-known philanthropist, but many never knew of his devotion to large species of game fish – not only sport but also for research and conservation. This exhibit highlights Tumbesian fish species including the world record black marlin caught by Glassell on 4 August 1953 that tipped the scales at 1560 pounds. Footage of the catch was used in the 1958 film The Old Man and the Sea, starring Spencer Tracy. The exhibit includes over 40 specimens of game fish representing over a dozen species found off the coast of Cabo Blanco, Peru, where Glassell landed the big marlin.

Landungsbrücken Hamburg.
Hamburg is a city with so many tourist. Many places are photographed very often and the perspectives are similar. Here I tried to photograph a familiar place from a different perspective.

Landungsbrücken Hamburg.
Hamburg ist eine Stadt mit sehr vielen Touristen. Und so wurden viele Orte sehr häufig fotografiert und die Perspektiven ähneln sich. Hier habe ich versucht, einen bekannten Ort aus einer anderen Perspektive zu fotografieren.
