Abandoned Places

Day 53 of my 365 Photo Challenge.

Today I revisited the Kiental near Kloster Andechs, because, during my last visit, I came across this abandoned building, which reminded me somehow of Aztec ruins in one of the old Indian Jones movies.

So I decided to come back and get it framed.

The dark ambient light and the illuminated canopy of the trees created this extraordinary atmosphere, which really emphasized the ruin.

The reflections in the river additionally underlined the thin atmosphere.

I took the picture with my Nikkor 14-24mm wide-angle lens. I also used a polarization filter and a 0.9 neutral grey filter.

To find the correct white balance was quite challenging since the lighting was coming from multiple directions and sources.
In the end, the image works quite well, and

I hope you will tell me what you see or interpret in the scene!
