Golden Windows at Blue Hour – Heilig-Geist-Spital, Nuremberg

            The Heilig-Geist-Spital (Hospital of the Holy Spirit) stands quietly over the Pegnitz River in the heart of Nuremberg’s old town. Built in the 14th century, it remains one of the city’s most iconic and photogenic landmarks.

Captured just after sunset, the photo shows the building’s warm interior lights reflected in the still waters below. The central oriel with its timber-framed façade is perfectly framed between the twin arches of the bridge and the surrounding sandstone façades.

The tree on the right balances the historical geometry with a touch of nature, while the quiet river mirror adds a sense of calm and timelessness.

This image was taken with the Leica D-Lux 8 – “100 Years of Leica” edition.
