•  Info Another shot by Aristeas. This is a really interesting one; it depicts the so-called Red Mosque, in Schwetzingen Palace, Germany. Strange as it sounds, it was never actually a working mosque; instead it was aimed to show Europe's newfound Enlightenment tolerance to other religious traditions.

•  Comment The Red Mosque was build by Nicolas de Pigage as a part of the baroque park ensemble. In this photograph, I wanted to show the beautiful view or scene of the mosque together with its reflection in the pond and the old trees; I consider this as the view intended by de Pigage. It is not possible to show the complete mosque from this point of view, because always one part or another is covered by the trees; but I am sure this was considered by de Pigage, too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aristeas (talk • contribs) Cart (talk) 14:01, 19 November 2019 (UTC) (UTC)

• A lot of trees can grow up in 200+ years, and parks change. Have you seen the original plans for the park? --Cart (talk) 14:07, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

• You’re right that I was hasty in my statement. I want to apologize for that and have crossed out that part of the sentence. It would certainly be better to say that, given the care with which gardens were planned at the time, I think it is probable that the later growth of the trees was already being considered at that time. But in any case, this is the present state, and I wanted to document it with the photo. --Aristeas (talk) 14:26, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment Nice view, but the ugly bench spoils all for me. I wonder if you had the possibility to move it aside before taking the picture. --A.Savin 15:31, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment I did not have the possibility -- these benches are quite heavy (I have once tried to move another one ;–). Therefore I decided to integrate it as foreground element. --Aristeas (talk) 16:49, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

•  Support - Very peaceful, beautiful reflection of the mosque, nice fall foliage, and the simple white bench is nice, in my opinion, certainly not ugly. What its presence in the photo also does is to help the viewer imagine him-/herself sitting there and viewing the scene (though from a somewhat different vantage point). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:58, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
