there once was a little cloud, a photo from Rheinland-Pfalz, West

Photographer's Note

RÜDESHEIM AM RHEIN is a German winemaking town in the Rhine Gorge, and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in this region.

It is known for its local whine and there are lots of places to sample it.

Rûdesheim is also home to the rather quirky Siegfrieds Mechanisches Musikkabinett, a museum for mechanical musical instruments, which we absolutely adored!

---

The BOOSENBURG is a lowland castle in Rüdesheim am Rhein, dating back to the 12th century. It is locally known as Oberburg (upper castle) in relation to the near and slightly lower Brömserburg.

The castle has belonged to a winery, Weinkellerei Carl Jung, from 1938. The musical family has arranged several chamber and jazz music concerts in their residence.

It was (is) not really open for public, so this was shot from the the gate at the streetside.

Hi Benny
The roses make for an attractive foreground for the charming buildings in the distance and the path leads the eye towards the middle of the image. The cloud is indeed the icing on the cake.
You keep reminding me how beautiful our continent is (says she, during a trip to Greece... :).
Best wishes
Kasia

Hallo Benny,
Wat een prachtig gezicht op dit plaatsje en de omgeving met de glooiende heuvels met wijngaarden aan de andere kant en de rozenstruiken op de voorgrond. Het was een mooi zonnige dag met wat vriendelijke witte wolken in de blauwe lucht. De compositie is mooi in balans.

Very nice as the cloud does balance the scene. What a sweet place to live - nice gardens and quaint buildings and homes. I bet their wines are quite good. TFS

Hello Benny.

I am sure that the museum was nice to visit. Wonderful view of the small castle and the vineyards around it. Charming row of colourful roses. The pat leads eye to the white building at the end of it. Excellent perspective, marvellous colours.

Best regards MAlgo

Hallo Benny,
In een vorig leven was ik ook in Rüdesheim. Reeds zo lang geleden dat ik vergat hoe het er uitzag. Wel herinner ik me de vele wijngaarden die je hier ook mooi in beeld brengt.
Het stenen pad leidt ons goed naar de mooie gebouwen, de hoge toren en de wijngaarden op de heuvelflanken.
De bloemen langs beide zijden van het pad zorgen voor een feestelijke intrede in Rüdesheim.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello Benny,

I remember visiting this town when on a Rhine Cruise. I remember it having steep streets and a museum of automated musical instruments.

You chose an excellent viewpoint, with a fine lead line, edged with attractive roses, to the well placed buildings.
The exposure is excellent, with rich colours.
Your title was apt and fun.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)
