Viererstein submitted by Martin_L : May 2019, Viererstein photographed using a 1940s Pseudo-TLR and Agfa ISU film from a 1973 expired batch showing some. The photo shows the Western (foreground left) and the Southern stone (tilted, partly overgrown). The site has been quite overgrown in May 2019. The ambiance is heavily spoilt by a road and a dirt road running just along the site. Hence i tried to give it some more timeless appeara... (Vote or comment on this photo)
