Fotoeins Friday: Jasmund National Park, 🇩🇪 UNESCO WHS

In their day, medieval architects were inspired by what they saw in the beech forests where trees seemed to reach endlessly into the sky, creating “hallowed halls” in the hinterlands. The massive vertical spaces are to cathedrals what those trees are to the forested lands. The primeval beech forests like those found in Jasmund National Park on the island of Rügen in northeast Germany are inscribed as a UNESCO World Nature Heritage site across 18 European nations since 2007.

I made the image above on 3 Jun 2024 with a Fujifilm X70 fixed-lens prime and the following settings: 1/125-sec, f/4, ISO2000, and 18.5mm focal length (28mm full-frame equivalent). This post appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com as https://wp.me/p1BIdT-wIN.

Fotoeins Friday: Haithabu-Hedeby, 🇩🇪 UNESCO WHS

Just outside the city of Schleswig, Germany is the site of a former Viking settlement near the western end of the inlet Schlei. The sheltered harbour and a relatively short overland (portage) distance between the North and Baltic Seas made this an ideal location for settlement. The Viking sites Haithabu and Danevirke nearby have been inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2018.
