Leipzig Fairgrounds Tower at sunset by jyokota

Leipzig Fairgrounds Tower at sunset

Another in my series of urban pipes, this is the tower outside the Leipzig Fairgrounds. Leipzig is known as the original site for trade fairs, dating back to the Middle Ages! The first written documentation is from 1165.

Mary has challenged me in "get pushed" to find alternate ways of composing my shots so here's the link to alternate #1:

and to alternate #2:

Taken with my point and shoot, I really need to figure out how to correct the date it stamps! It's still set for Korea time . . .
wonderful capture !

Fascinating shot. BTW - what has become of your DSLR? I notice that you have switched to a Powershot.

@jodimuli @lynnb @tishpics @judis @taffy -- thanks for visiting and commenting!
@danielwsc -- yes, and more and more to come! Maybe this can be a series . . .
@steampowered -- thanks for noticing the difference! My SLR (actually the lens!) is so much bigger and heavier than my point and shoot, and my neck/shoulder/back are bothering me lately. When I leave for the day, I have to do the "turtle" thing and carry everything I need for the day on my back. That would be computer, lunch, thermos, camera, multiple phones, books, etc. etc. and some days, I just can't take my big SLR but then I always miss it.
