On a Winter´s Day

On a Winter´s Day
The original photo was taken on January 15, 2016 – the last real winter day in Baden-Baden that I can remember.

While I'm working here, it's 33°C outside.

Seven of these cast-iron candelabras are standing in front of the Kurhaus in Baden-Baden.
They are gas-powered and manually switched on in the evening and off again early in the morning.

I haven't been able to determine their actual age yet, but they are shown on postcards from 1899.
Gas lighting was introduced in Baden-Baden in 1846.

A few years ago, one of these candelabras was destroyed in an accident.
The reconstruction cost €200,000.

William Sutherland, Don Sutherland, James have particularly liked this photo

Thanks a lot.
