Don't photograph prison doors!  by vera365

Don't photograph prison doors!

Better on black. I thought I'd get a shot at a landscape from the Hohenasperg castle (which is also a current prison). The landscape was boring, so I got distracted by this old wood on a door. Yes. I did get approached by security who wanted to know if I am photographing any locks or window security systems. But photographing the old wood was OK with them (they checked my pictures!), just got me a couple of strange looks :)
Thank you for visiting!

By the way, the landscape would have been for the 52-week challenge for 2016. More information under

I like the story (and the pic). Take pictures first, ask permission later, I say.
January 12th, 2016  
Great photo. I'm surprised they let you have a camera in there.
January 12th, 2016  
Scary, isn't it? A guy yelled once at me, for taking pics of his barn. He scared the heck out of me.

Some folk have just no idea about art. I was photographing plants in a shopping mall and was stopped by a security guard asking what I was doing..haha! Fabulous shot of the old door. Great processing too. Fav!

Wonderful textures and tones! The story of how you came about this shot made me chuckle!
January 13th, 2016  
It's surprising you were even allowed to have a camera in the vicinity! Great find by the way!

@jinximages @californialover @danette - I was actually surprised myself that the security guys were pretty relaxed about me hanging out with a camera out there. But on the other hand - the whole area around the perimeter of the castle is something like a local public park with a restaurant, with wonderful views of the area (since the castle is located on a lonely hill). So, I am guessing, they are used to seeing people with camera's there, but they looked surprised at the one actually pointing the lens towards the inner wall, and not towards the vista.

Oh I am so glad the old shredded-looking piece of wood got all that attention it truly deserves. :) Thank you all so much for your visits, generous comments and opinions. They are very much appreciated!
