Shadows fall across a window and weathered wall in Heidelberg, Germany

We have relatives living in Heidelberg, so when we go to Europe the city almost seems like “home” at this point. We often stay not far from the old town area — far enough away to not be in the middle of it all time, but close enough that a short walk over the Philosophenweg and across a bridge gets us there quickly.

Wandering around the streets of the town there are plenty of photographic subjects. At the moment I cannot recall precisely where I made this photograph, but I can recall being attracted by the forms and colors of the wall, the weathered and peeling paint, and the shadows produced by the sunlight glancing across its surface.
