Christmas Market

At a traditional Christmas market near my home, I tried to capture the atmosphere in black and white.

When the wonderful smell of cookies and mulled wine wafts across the monastery courtyard, it's Christmas market time again in Maulbronn.

At more than two thirds of the stalls, woodwork and handicrafts, floristry, nativity scenes, jewelry, toys and other arts and crafts ensure the high standard of the market. Thanks to a culinary offering that is as varied as it is typical of Christmas - bratwurst and Schupfnudeln, creamed bread and flamed salmon, Maultaschen or venison goulash - there is something for everyone. Mulled wine, children's tea and punch will warm you up from the inside.
