Germany 2022 - Kassel, Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe
August 10, 2022
On the first day of exploring in Germany, Emily and I visited the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel, my father's home town. It was a Wednesday and a day of the biweekly Wasserspiele, a "water play" that starts at the very top of the park, where there is a statue of Hercules. Photos 23-48 show the water as it works its way down many cascades, over a few falls and a reconstructed Roman aqueduct, and finally ends a large fountain on the pond near the main Wilhelmshöhe castle. Photo 21 shows the vantage point from just under the Hercules statue, the view down through the park, where you can see the big castle in the distance, and the city of Kassel behind. Photos 52-80 were taken at the Löwenburg castle in the park.
These images were shot with a Fujifilm X-T4 and raw files were processed using Capture One Pro. Any shots with a focal length of 9mm were taken with a Laowa Zero-D 9mm f/2.8 and since it is a fully manual lens, it always shows f/1.0 when in reality, I usually shot it at f/5.6 or f/8. Filenames prefixed by "iPh13" were taken with an iPhone 13. GPS location is provided via Google Maps in a new browser window when you click the globe icon at the upper left corner of each thumbnail.
