Creativity counts
28. July 2009 by Friedhelm.
One of my goals for my photographic journey was to visit the city of Hildesheim, south of Hanover in northern Germany. My plan was to see the Dome and the 1000 year old rose. Since I was there I decided to take a peek into the other churches and I fell in love with this one, St. Godehard basilica. Godehard was a monk and bishop in Hildesheim and after his death the people built this church between 1133 - 1172 AD. The basilica was also developed in the Romanesque style, however, if you take a closer look you will find a lot of creativity throughout the building. First, form and color of the columns followed a pattern. There is one square column followed by two round columns.
Second, the stones on top of the pillars were very creatively carved and/or painted.
Third, the stones of the arch were used in a pattern.
I am not an architect but I was still amazed how much creative energy was used to create this church. I wish I can incorporate as much creativity as possible in all my images.
Happy photographing
