Marktplatz in Halle [Sky Watch Friday]
There are many interesting towns in the former DDR including Halle, situated in Sachsen-Anhalt along the river Saale. It was one of the major cities of East Germany until the reunification. This image was originally on a 2x2 color slide, which was recently scanned and digitalized. It was taken in the Marktplatz [market place], and it includes a statue honoring George Friedrich Handel [left], the Marktkirche [center] and the Roter Turm [right]. I was fortunate to have a fine sky to shoot against.

What a stunning capture! And you did indeed have gorgeous skies for a background! I do love your composition! Hope you enjoy a great weekend, Stan!
What a great sky with building and statue silhouettes!
great shot! and i love your header :) what a pretty pic!
What wonderful composition! I love silhouettes against a sky, and these are particularly intriguing. And you're right, you sure did have a beauty of a sky as a backdrop!
I made a factual error in my original posting; viz. I referred to the Handel statue as being that of Roland. A small Roland figure is, in fact, present, but only his head and derby hat are visible [between Handel and the church]. Sorry about that.
