Here's a shot I took earlier with a color polarizer filter on:
Just out of curiosity, I switched it over to monochrome and left the polarizer on. I added the red filter"
The polarizer dropped the shutter speed from earlier shots of 1/500 to 1/320

Dunlin,
Thanks for letting us know about that typo. You did a great job with that HDR photo.
David,
I like the second horse chestnut the best. The shadow looks better on the right side like that.
Steve,
I like the color photo the best. Seeing blue sky with white clouds is a good thing!
Yes. Black and white changes optimistic blue skies into gloomy dark grey or black, and this is my prime reason for not enjoying B&W. In cityscapes under natural light, when it is raining or otherwise miserable or melancholy, B&W enhances this sadness The situation can be transformed by means of well-directed artificial light, as in the pre war movies.

So this will be the last part of our Luxemburg photos.
We getting ready to leave Luxemburg and have a stop for a few days in the southern part of the Netherlands.

The tunnel above used to be a railroad tunnel for half a century until 1954 and was part of "Charly" a narrow-gauge railway line between Luxembourg (city) and Echternach nowadays it's a cycle path
I have enjoyed this series of photos. Thank you!
The tunnel looks very cool, in both senses. How long is it?
David
Definitely ready to leave home now:

Will it ever become a tree? 😉 @davidwien
That tunnel is about 205m long with a light curvature
Very nice set of images - this one‘s probably my favorite. Quite a lot to see and interesting composition-wise! Your HDR shot also works great, I‘d say. Well done!
I have enjoyed everyone's photos very much.

Photobygms,
Thanks for sharing with us your Luxembourg photos. The forest look so dense. That's an interesting tunnel with the archways.
David,
OK...we see one more horse chestnut with less shadows. That's the best one. 😀
It is the same horse chestnut -- just a few days older and in natural light this time.
David
Very nice composition and beautiful light - draws you right in!
Thankyou simplejoy.
@Photobygms I'm also a fan of the tunnel image.
Last night was Great!
