    Chunk does seem the right word for it. Love the stonework though.

    The perspective you have used seems to emphasis the chunkiness of the architecture. A very pleasing composition.

    Very nicely composed, yes. Colours and sharpness are amazing for a cell phone (yes yes I have said this before, I know ...)
    So finally you plucked up your courage and crossed the borders to Rhineland-Palatinate ... >,-)

    Thanks for the comments.

    Ángel: Gracias.

    Costea Andrea Mihai: Mulţumesc.

    Biana: Bedankt.

    Hilda: Your Y was hijacked by the letter-eating goblins that occasionally visit my page. Don't worry. They are otherwise harmless.

    joo: Dziękuję.

    Cezar and Léia: Obrigado.

    Joan Elizabeth: Thanks.

    photo ex machina: The shape was what caught my eye.

    JM: Obrigado.

    Frau G: Danke.

    Sandra: Thanks.

    Martina: You will notice I did not venture very far into Pälzer territory. However, I managed to return unscathed and, perhaps, I might dare to go back. The restaurant in the rebuilt monastery might tempt me.

    lol - first photo in the gallery was of a bedroom ...

    then I had a look at the menu:

    Emincé vom Seeteufel mit weißem Spargel, Krustentierschaum
    und französischem Estragon

    Wolfsbarsch mit Pfifferlingen, Passionsfrucht,
    Basilikum und Maisschaum

    Hmmmmm .... sounds really really nice.
