Deo optimo maximo, a photo from Schleswig-Holstein, West

Photographer's Note

L�beck is sometimes called a town of seven spires. My previous photo showed St Marien Church, here you see a blue hour view of the Lubeck Cathedral (Dom zu L�beck). You can see more of the spires in my previous photos from this town:
https://www.trekearth.com/members/mkamionka/photos/Europe/Germany/West/Schleswig-Holstein/Lubeck/
It is interesting to realise various meanings of the word Dom which in many languages translates as cathedral. Supposedly derived from the Latin Dominus Deo optimo maximo, abbreviated D.O.M., Latin for "to the Greatest and Best God". Interestingly, English dome refers to 殿 rounded vault forming the roof of a building or structure, typically with a circular base�. So the Lubeck Dom does not have a dome. In Polish, dom means house.

Hello Mariusz,
A really beautiful view of the twin towers and the warm colours of the bricks in the illuminations. The dark silhouettes make a great foreground as well.

Hello Mariusz,
A town of only seven spires? It seems more like the city with countless spires. I will have to look at the other photos again to see if the same towers are always shown :)
For sure L�beck is the town that offers great blue hour shots.
The buildings are beautifully lit and their red facades and towers contast well with the blue sky.
Very nice framing here with the leafless branches.
Perhaps summer is a less good time of the year to take this kind of pictures ... I'm not a fan of winter but when it comes to photography, you obviously have a lot of possibilities because there is no foliage obstructing the view.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Mariusz,

This image do my think, at the bombing and fire storm during WW II in Germany, but happy an other time, now Covid-19 a new War
You create nice depth picture.
An excellent composition and splendid presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Mariusz,

Another fine blue hour photograph.
The colours here are beautiful.
The cathedral, bathed in warm oranges, absolutely fills the frame with its details and looks amazing against the blue hour sky.
The silhouetted trees frame the scene really well.

My warm regards,
Bev 😊

Piekne nocne zdjecie, polaczenie kolorow daje cudowny efekt. Te strzeliste wieze sa naprawde imponujace, a pionowy format zdjecia jeszcze te wysokosc podkresla.
Bardzo ciekawe lingwistyczne obserwacje w notce.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie
Kasia

Pozdrav.
Interesantan i lep pogled u noci, dobar tekst ...
Lepe silute drveca i fasada, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Lepa fotografija i secanje.
Lepa stara Crkva.
Zelim vam lepu i mirnu noc, sve najbolje.
Paja.

Hi Mariusz,
This is an impressive building with its twin spires and orange colours standing out against the dark blue sky. The winter branches framing the building add a slightly spooky atmosphere.

Hi Mariusz

Perfect sharpness and this one really is a classical blue hour shot. Nice warm cold colour contrasts between the reddish orange fa軋de of the twin spired cathedral and the bg blue sky. Tfs!

mariusz

and dom in portuguese means a title of respect for a old noble man, nowadays only the feminine gender of the word is used yet..
another amazing artwork. perfect way you used the elements here with the perfect light, angle and nude trees against the blue sky. congratulations !
here a second wave of covid is killing people a lot..
take care

Hi Mariusz.
From what I am seeing with your photos, I come to the conclusion that Lubeck is a splendid city, which is worth visiting, I love this frame with the reddish lighting of this beautiful building and its tall towers, with a beautiful sky to the blue hour, the bare trees of leaves give a great graphic.
Good management, both of brightness and sharpness.
Very well done. I like it.
Enjoy the weekend.
My best wishes for you.
Luis
