This impressive black and white photograph captures an abstract stone sculpture on the banks of the Rhine in Bingen. The striking shape of the sculpture, whose rough surface contrasts with the smooth surface of the water, immediately catches the viewer's eye. Behind it, a panorama of terraced vineyards opens up, stretching in geometric lines across the slopes of the Rhine valley. A castle sits enthroned halfway up and adds a historical note to the scenery. The composition poetically combines nature, history and modern art. The monochrome depiction emphasises the timeless atmosphere of this special place.
