42_The Green Gate.jpg

A farewell glance at the ornate Green Gate before stepping back in reality.
Looking through the bars feels like peering into a preserved sanctuary of the past.
The Rossbrunnen (Horse Fountain) stands perfectly framed, with the artificial temple ruins of Ruinenberg watching from the distant hill.
A beautiful boundary line to say goodbye to the grand parks and palaces built by a Prussian King Frederick the Great.

(In my Berlin Gallery, https://pbase.com/denise_jtl/berlin

Photos #093-097, in the caption section, I have included a summary of the life of Frederick the Great, from his sad childhood,
to why his last wish to be buried at Sanssouci could not be fulfilled until 205 years after his death).
Thank you very much for your visits and comments.

A very original POV for this scene featuring people around a fountain, captured from behind this classic wrought-iron fence. V

This Green Gate picture was taken with inspiration and perhaps waiting patiently not to have people in front of it, or only by pure chance! It is a melancolic glance, a farewell to past travels so fruitful from photography perspective. I think the advanced amateur photographers organise with feeling/soul their trips guided by their fate, not pursuing a financial gain, but saving for the trip and for a new camera. The financial gain is necessary for pro photographers to survive. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your photography and the well researched background notes. pbase is as well a learning place regarding cameras, full exif file details and places on Earth, details you so generously share.
