Soft-focus filters are extreme difficult to capture in a photograph. These shadow pictures are an easier way.

I finally figured out how to make a collage. It's not stellar, but oh well.

 

The pattern is super-simple, so simple I almost didn't try it at all. But then I did and really liked how the light made it look from different angles. Sometimes I look at some of them and get so confused. As I walk by it it changes so dramatically. The photography doesn't do it justice.

 

(Somehow in the process of making this, the image quality got sort of funky. Hmmm. I'm still learning.)

Half-timbered houses in the little town of Cadolzburg, seen from the gateway of Cadolzburg Castle, Franconia (Bavaria)

 

Cadolzburg Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1157. In the mid-13th century the area around Cadolzbug was acquired by the burgraves of Nuremberg from the house of Hohenzollern, who were known in the Middle Ages simply as the Zollern. Originally they came from Swabia, but after they were appointed burgraves of Nuremberg by the emperor in 1191, their centre of power shifted to Franconia.

 

The main castle, perched on a steep rocky spur, has an imposing ring wall, which like the main gate and the so-called Palas ( as a part of the New Palace) dates from the 13th century. Only the basement known as the crypt beneath the originally free-standing chapel has remained from what was probably the previous building on this site. In front of the main castle is a spacious bailey, which was initially where the castle guards lived. In the Renaissance period a garden was laid out in the bailey.

 

The ring wall surrounds both Old and New Palace, which are connected by the chapel wing. Despite its name, the section of the so-called New Palace adjoining the chapel is the oldest part of the castle and dates from around 1250. The Old Palace was built in the 15th century under Elector Friedrich I. About 1600, the New Palace was considerably extended.

 

When in the 14th century the House of Hohenzollern increasingly came into conflict with the citizens of the Imperial City of Nuremberg, they moved their seat of government to the nearby Cadolzburg Castle. In 1415 King Sigismund then appointed burgrave Friedrich VI Elector of the Mark Brandenburg. From this time on the House of Hohenzollern was included among the seven rulers entitled to elect kings, and occupied an eminent position in the Old Empire, from which the Hohenzollerns eventually rose to become kings of Prussia in 1713 and emperors of the German Empire in 1871. This was how for a long time in the Late Middle Ages Berlin came to be governed from Cadolzburg and Ansbach.

 

Shortly before the end of the World War II, on 17th April 1945, the castle went up in flames. A small group of German soldiers, who belonged to Nazi-Germany’s last means, had entrenched themselves behind the castle walls and shot at two arriving armoured US regiments on their way to the city of Nuremberg. Of course the American Sherman tanks returned fire. The firestorm raged for days and the main castle lost its roofs and ceilings. For decades the ruin remained open to the sky and increasingly deteriorated.

 

Over the past few decades the Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes, which had entered into possession of the castle in 1979, has secured the rock on which the castle stands and the building substance and rebuilt large sections of the complex. In 2016 the work on the interior of the Old Palace was completed and in June 2017, restored Cadolzburg Castle was reopened to the public.

 

The little town of Cadolzburg has more than 10,700 residents and is located about 10 km (6.2 miles) west of the city of Fuerth and about 15 km (9.3 miles) west of the city of Nuremberg in the Bavarian district of Middle Franconia. Its municipal territory belongs to the Nuremberg metropolitan area.

 

During the High Middle Ages, the settlement began to prosper around the castle, but the spot was already inhabited since the year 793, when Herrieden Abbey was founded at this place. The name “Cadolzburg” most likely traces back to Count Kadold, who is believed to be the founder of Herrieden Abbey. At the beginning of the 15th century, elector Friedrich VI from the House of Hohenzollern, came into possession of the castle and the estates belonging to it. His son Albrecht Achilles, margrave of Brandenburg, made Cadolzburg his hunting lodge and the forests surrounding it his hunting grounds.

 

In the 1880s, Cadolzburg was connected to the new train line between Nuremberg and Crailsheim by stagecoaches. But in 1892, Cadolzburg itself got a rail connection. At that time the residents still made a living mainly from farming and working in the nearby quarries. Today Cadolzburg is a rather popular place of residence. On the one hand it is still a quiet and sleepy little town with great recreational value, but on the other it is also very well connected to the nearby cities of Fuerth and Nuremberg by roads and local public transport.

This might start out the same as 'Ceramix' but ends up in a distinctly gothic design. Based on a common stone and iron work pattern I've seen in numerous places across Leicester, including a fair few churches.

I love patterns in nature. Ice patterns will NEVER be the same. At my property I have a small stream on one side & a larger stream on the other. I'm never disappointed.

Quite creative - If I had a place to pave, it would be in this pattern.
