Cityscape Heidelberg

Heidelberg · **4 Likes**

Few images taken in the ancient center of Heidelberg (Germany). I was there for a job meeting in 2015, after that I had few hours for some shots (perhaps too much in "postcard" style ?).

Nice shots. I remember some of these scenes. I have them on slides somewhere (from 1999)

Maucard - great shots - I really like #3 - I was in Heidelburg around 2005/06 on business, and really enjoyed the winter market.

Nah, not too touristy at all. Great shots. I was through Heidelberg in 1976. I remember the great beer - Schlossquelle, I believe.

In '62, fireworks over the river were so *splenderfull* ( I use to have the tri-x negatives )

Thank you for the kind comment! Unfortunately I have not seen the winter market, maybe I will come there in the right period of the year next time...

Many thanks for the encouraging and kind comment! I had never the opportunity to taste that beer, it seems that I should definitely come back there sometime...

Fireworks over the river, they should have been fabulous!

Postcards are popular for a reason Maurizio! In my humble opinion you nailed shots 3, 4, 5 and 6. They are all photo's with a clear point of interest and invite me to explore the rest of the photo. I don't know if I am able to get my point across but I would call these photo's ' layered'.

Remco, you are right, postcards should be considered as a photographic genre with its dignity! I believe to understand what you mean about the 4 photos that you liked most. They are "layered", if I understood, because they have different elements of interest at different distance, and all of them conduct the eye towards the main elememt in the background...
Thank you for your interesting comment!

Exactly what I wanted to convey!

A wonderful series - looks like a magical place, compared with the steel and concrete of a city like Houston. I've been to Germany a few times, but never - unfortunately - to Heidelberg.

Many thanks for the kind comment Jer. Yes, in my short trip I had exactly this impression, of a place quite magical, where it could be nice to live.
