Borkum as photographed from a lighthouse

This is an image I found on Wikimedia Commons through the German Wikipedia, and I loved it so much I put it in the English article on Borkum. I think it's a charming and really quite fascinating image of the town and island. Also, the high angle the shot was taken from is pretty uncommon, at least from what I've seen. According to the Commons page the photographer was Peter Hudec; the uploader was Conny.

  • Oppose. I don't quite understand the excitement about a bunch of houses. Enochlau 23:31, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Agree completely with Enochlau. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 03:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Well, they are a bunch of houses and buildings, yes. And there's a body of water in the horizon that I suspect is a sea. By the same token, Diliff's Sydney pic is of a bunch of buildings on the horizon and a harbour and a bridge. Point is (in my very humble opinion) they're both good pictures of buildings and houses and stuff. This one illustrates the town of Borkum. I think it's a good picture because the colors are lovely, the image is sharp, the angel and composition are interesting, there are no flaws that I can see, and it illustrates the town well. If you're going to take a picture of a town, and make it descriptive with just one photograph, this seems like a pretty good way to do it. Anyway, that's just what I think.:) (And if you all don't agree with me you're just cruel ;))—encephalon 04:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
