Winter sunset and Solstice - Robert Vermaat - 12-14-2007
I was just in time dropping off my daughter to get some pictures of the sun setting over the Limes in Germania Secunda.

Something totally poetic about the sun setting, a Late Roman watchtower in silhouette...you know.

Anyway, here's a few pictures of the exceptional Winter Solstice this morning!

The third one is splendid!!
Solstice - Paullus Scipio - 12-23-2007
...as is your ghostly presence in the fourth one !
Re: Winter sunset and Solstice - M. Demetrius - 12-23-2007
They're all wonderful. I think I like the second one best, though.
Is there any plan to add to this tower? Like a wooden wall, gate, anything else? It seems so lonely out there. Minas Morgul and suchlike....
Re: Winter sunset and Solstice - Gaius Julius Caesar - 12-23-2007
They are all great! They also remind me of winter in Alberta, sans watch tower.... 8)

Very nice and poetic pics, Robert. You are a skilled photographer!
What a pity the contemporary elements (car, sign, asphalt, etc...), may I doctor the pics and add something of roman?
BTW, seen that the Winter Solstice was just yesterday and today the Sun begins his new rise, have a good Dies Natalis Soli Inuicti.
Vale,

Hello Robert,
They are all beautiful pics. I do agree with Jona...that third pic would make a fine wallpaper for a (ahem...mine...LOL) desktop.
Re: Winter sunset and Solstice - Robert Vermaat - 12-24-2007
Hi all, thanks for the praise, I agree these came out quite well, considering i was in haste for an appointment!

Hi Daniele,
Of course, be my guest. The landscape is riddled with modern influences though; roads, farms, even power lines, a railroad in the background and a motorway not a mile off!

Off duty...
Just little details added and other deleted in the Robert's pic where now we can see Paul Elliott while is just coming back to his family, after his daily job in one of the many Limes Imperii watch tower...
Paul, sorry for recruiting you in the Limitanei troops, but I had just your photo with the right light...
