'Fenster(freitag)' #FotoVorschlag

#PletzfeldMomentsInTime #photography #architecture #darktable #mywork #myphoto

The photograph shows the upper part of a tall, classic late-19th/early-20th-century Central European red-brick industrial building, photographed from street level looking sharply upward. The perspective is strongly vertical, emphasizing the height of the façade. The building is constructed entirely of warm reddish-brown brick with very precise, regular brickwork. Large industrial-style windows dominate the facade — they are arranged in a strict grid of five vertical rows that are visible. Each window is very tall and relatively narrow, featuring many small square panes of glass divided by thin white glazing bars (creating an almost checkerboard-like pattern inside each opening). The most striking architectural feature is the elaborately shaped gable at the very top. It has a gentle, curved Art-Nouveau-inspired form — sometimes called a "cat’s back" or "mansard-like" curve — that rises to a small central point. At the peak of this gable sits a small, round, dark opening or decorative oculus. Below the curved gable edge runs a simple brick cornice with small rectangular decorative elements. The sky behind the building is a bright, clear blue with a few soft white clouds visible, especially near the top right corner. The strong sunlight illuminates the right side of the façade more brightly, creating subtle shadows that emphasize the depth and texture of the bricks, while the left side appears a little more in shade.
