File:Speyer - Altstadt - Altpörtel - Blick auf Gedächtniskirche und St. Joseph mit Sonnenuntergang.jpg

Summary

Description	Speyer, Germany: view from the tower of the Altpörtel (Old Gate) to southeast over the Postplatz and the roofs of the old town to the Gedächtniskirche (left) and to the Saint Joseph Church (centre) behind which the sun is sinking. Hint: The diffraction spikes (a.k.a. sunstars or starburst effect) in this image have not been added in post-production or by using effect filters etc., but are a speciality of the Loxia lens used for this photograph, which (for the good or the bad) creates well-defined sunstars beginning at f/4. I cannot avoid that, so let us enjoy it. ;–)
