Escheresque

              
 #Donnerstagsmonochrom

Please forgive the somewhat lame title, but I couldn't think of anything better in a hurry.

The concrete interior of the Deutsche Dom lends itself to a centred composition, but I have already done that at an earlier visit (please check my album, if you like). Not that I didn't take centred photos this time as well, but I also thought it was time to try something different. 

As for the processing (exposure bracketing of three images combined in HDR Efex and then transferred to B&W in Silver Efex), I went for something bright and airy at first, but found it lacked depth and detail, at least in this off-centre composition, so I went for a more dramatic editing.

The Deutsche Dom (also known as Neue Kirche: "New Church") is a tower, not a "church" or cathedral as the name suggests, and nowadays, it houses a permanent (and free) exhibition on the history of German parliamentarism. Unlike the interior of its architectural sibling at Gendarmenmarkt, the Französischer Dom (French Cathedral), its interior was reconstructed (due to World War II damages) in a modern way, while the French Cathedral's interior has just been reconstructed true to the original.

Happy Donnerstagsmonochrom, everyone!
