May 26: Bamberg morning

The next morning it was time to depart from Bamberg, but I had time for one more hour of perambulation to seek out places I'd previously missed.

5588

Once again across the canal to Inselstadt, this time on the Kettenbrücke further downstream, hence the upstream view of the Luitpoldbrücke and the Erlöserkirche.

5590

This construction looks almost like the start of another bridge.

5596

Here's Maximiliansplatz, a much more orthogonal square than most in Bamberg, which makes me think it's of post-medieval vintage.

5603

Just beyond the Platz on the elongated Grüner Markt square sits the late-17th-century Martinskirche, originally a Jesuit church, a church of many arcs. I checked it out.

5606

A curious angle in the vestibule.

5608

The front window and a soft morning sunbeam.

5609

Sharp and smooth.

5614

The explosively composed altar.

5617

Waaait a minute!

5622

A deluxe confessional.

5624

Rothkoesque light washes in the northeast reaches of the church.

5625

Sun painting a lovely intersection of curves.

5627

More round-arched windows, in the southwest wall.

5632

Across from the west end of Jesuitenstraße: that's a ton of roof for a pretty small amount of building.

5633

This street is called, and is located, An der Universität.

5649

A fun scramble of wall elements. That doorknob looks somewhat less than fully practical.

5652

Old-school vs. new-school (at least judging by their surfaces) half-timbered sheds.

5657

A concentrated little blast of high-tech architecture.

5660

Oh no!

5661

A clearer view of the Luitpoldbrücke's structure.

5664

Wow, the Kettenbrücke's structure is cool too! I think I prefer it actually, because it's so elegantly minimal.

5665

A shadow of me on the Luitpoldbrücke snapping my shadow on the Luitpoldbrücke.

5673

Getting ready to check out from the hotel.

5679

Another look through the hallway window, to the north, sans filtering this time. To the right is the foreshortened pile of roofs at the backs of buildings along Heiliggrabstraße.

5681

The slightly sparser view over to the west.
