Twilight by Eva and Klaus Weber-Wanjek
I took this photo on a nice summer evening only a five minute walk away from our house in Kelberg, Germany, down our lane. I didn´t manipulate the colours in any way. I think it´s very peaceful and relaxing. Just looking at the image evokes the sensations of the cool summer evenings here in the Eifel region of Germany. / Klaus Taken with my Pentax k10d / Challenge Winner in the challenge Blue Hour in the group Gorgeous Germany on October 25th 2009!!! Thank you to all who voted for our image!!!

GOLDEN LIZZY by Babbler
The Victory Column (Berliner Siegessäule) is a famous monument in Berlin, Germany. Designed by Heinrich Strack after 1864 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Danish-Prussian War, by the time it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873, Prussia had also defeated Austria in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), giving the statue a new purpose. Different from the original plans, these later victories in the so-called unification wars inspired the addition of the bronze sculpture of Victoria, 8.3 meters high and weighing 35 tonnes, designed by Friedrich Drake. Berliners, with their fondness for giving nicknames to famous buildings, call the statue Goldelse, meaning something like “Golden Lizzy”. /

Hermans Memorial by shadowplay
Near Detmold,Germany. / EOS 30D Herman the German (also Arminius, Armin , Hermann the Cheruscan or just plain Hermy Baby) was the first man with the imagination to wake up one day and say ’ I have a dream. I will call my hut ‘Germany’ and the people who live with me Germans. He eventually extended the idea somewhat but Herman is now credited by his modern day descendants with the concept of Germany. This was used by British bomber pilots during the war for target practice whilst on the return journey from raids over Berlin.

Cochem, Germany by worldtripper
above the city of Cochem, in the famous wine region of the Mosel River (Moselle), towers the beautiful, over 1000 year old, Reichsburg Castle which is built in Neo-Classical Style! Oldest records date the city back to 886 A.D. at which time both the Celtic and Roman tribes populated the region. This is a mere 40 minute drive from my hometown in Germany.

Schloss Burg by TriciaDanby
Schloss Burg, located in Burg an der Wupper (Solingen), is the largest reconstructed castle in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany and a popular tourist attraction. Its early history is closely connected to the growth of the Duchy of Berg. In the beginning of the 12th century (after 1133), count Adolf II von Berg built Schloss Burg on a mountain over the river Wupper. The old castle of the counts, Castle Berge in Odenthal near Altenberg, was abandoned. The original name of the new castle was Castle Neuenberge (Newmountain), or in Latin, novus mons, novum castrum, or novi montis castrum . Not until the 15th century, after significant reconstruction as a hunting castle, did it receive its current name reflecting its palatial extension. Source: Wikipedia

About This Group
Welcome to the Gorgeous Germany Group!
Work submitted here should be images of German landscapes, German cities, German architecture, German culture, German customs and celebrations.
Anything else, for example extreme close ups of any kind (e.g. parts of statues, parts of buildings, parts of objects of any kind), animals, portraits, flowers, which are simply taken in Germany or by a German photographer but do not represent the country in any way (means: your photo could have been taken everywhere, no one would immediately know that it is in Germany), are not acceptable and will be removed without note.
A statue of a saint is not typical German.
An altar in a church is not typical German
A detail of a fountain is not typical German.
A part of a facade of a building in Germany is not considered to be typical German.
We’d like to see panoramic images of landscapes.
We’d like to see buildings in total.
We’d like to see images taken from a bird’s eye view.
Flowers and plants will be fine with this group if they are an element of an image and not the main subject of the image and a lot of landscape around the plant is visible.
Please add a short explanatory note to your image, e.g. where and / or why, who, what.
In order to give each entry the occasion to stay on the overview page for some time, WE HAVE A DAILY LIMIT OF 3 ENTRIES but no overall limit for the entries to the group.
Please don’t submit more than one photo from the same subject. One will be removed, unless they form a real complimentary set!
