Wertheim Castle Ruins - page 3 of 3
Ann remembers that she took this artistic view of the Main River through a castle window. If she hadn’t taken it, I'm sure I would have. I think it is a great example of ‘framing’ a photograph. Notice the smaller river (the Tauber) coming in from the left under the causeway; we rented a rowboat and had a nice trip upstream on that side of town. Photos from the Tauber River are on this page: GTRiver

Another example of setting up a foreground to contrast with a distant view. This is the Mein (Main) River. The river is navigable with locks. Ann and I took a boat ride down river to another quaint town. The tributary comes in from the left under the causeway in the center of the photo. We rented a row boat and rowed up the tributary on the other side of town. Yes, we have pictures but they aren't on the web yet.
The castle provides a nice vantage point for viewing the town of Wertheim.
