maria gern in the evening

always good for a postcard-quality picture, the church of maria gern is located on a very powerful place just over the street coming from berchtesgaden. evening is an excellent time to go there as it is almost abandoned then and the noise from the surroundings and the streets has pretty much died down. the mountains in the background - untersberg - are still and proud in their serenity and watch over the place.

sounds to much like a cliche? it just is as it is, maybe you have to experience it to believe.

the sun was in the perfect direction and angle to highlight the iron nails and the lock as well as to shed some light on the the cast iron trellis with its golden coating

I had to change my raw converter as lightcrafts decided to drop the linux version of their lightzone raw converter. The really upsetting facet is that they use (legally, of course) a lot of free software in their product but resist to return something to the community. Pretty much the behavior of a leech, isn't it?
