The Middle Ages, wow what fun! In Munich a dragon appeared bringing the plague:
ISO 320 f/7 29mm 1/100 sec
The more enlightened folks in town just washed their hands more frequently, but a dragon does make for a fun story and it’s remembered on the side of City Hall.
It’s an excellent work of art and I thought a square edit would be fun:
ISO 320 f/7 29mm 1/100 sec
In Luminar I dropped the highlights slider and then adjusted the whites, blacks, and luminance sliders. The filter “daydream” was added and dropped to 56%. I picked that filter mostly due to the irony of applying a daydream to the nightmare that was the plague.
The Instagram version is here:
Added to Day 28 of January Squares. It’s at this point that I confess photos for this challenge are supposed to end in “light” and enlightenment is really breaking pushing that rule.
Cheers!

It’s amazing and often terrifying what people will think to blame when a misfortune they can’t explain befalls them.

That is awesome! I want one on my house… I’d have to change the entire facade… but I’d prefer one conducive to dragon antiquity anyway
