Water Tower

Mannheim, Germany

(Wasserturm) is the emblem of the city of Mannheim and a stunning piece of Romanesque architecture. It was built in 1886 as a reservoir for the town’s drinking water supply.
At 60 m (196 ft) high, the cylindrical, yellow sandstone tower is the tallest structure in the area.
It is surrounded by statues and fountains which are lit up at dusk each day.

I like everything about this photo: the bare trees, the trolly tracks leading the eye, the movement of the people and, of course, the main subject. Very nice, Tom . Vote.
