One of the stops we made on our river cruise was Melk, Austria to visit the beautiful Melk Abbey. The abbey stands on the top of a hill and includes a school and an amazing library, and is one of the most striking sites along the Danube. As we found out, almost every historic building in Europe has scaffolding on it all of the time. At least it’s much less noticeable from below than it is from the courtyard were the second and third photos were taken. This arch is the one you can see on the first photo right in the center.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO SHOT FROM BELOW YOUR SUBJECT.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.
A really great sight.

The abbey is so beautiful, were you able to go inside ?
Yes, but photos inside were not allowed.
There are so many angles from which we see or feel what is around us.

The perception from down below certainly gives a whole new meaning. Very amazing capture this is, Nancy 🙂
Thanks, Hammad!
Hi Nancy
Here is my interpretation of From Below

Gotta love those high up on the hill castles 🙂 Great for shooting down the peasants!
Very true. And even though this is an Abbey, it is still somewhat fortified. 🙂
Thanks for the prompt Nancy. Here’s my entry: https://onewomansquest.org/2018/06/30/a-photo-a-week-from-below/
Hi Nancy, thanks for the opportunity to participate. This week is a photo looking up at the sky in St. Maarten, http://haddonmusings.com/2018/07/01/a-photo-a-week-c…lenge-from-below/
I love standing below something and capturing a photo! Here are my choices this week. Have a good week Nancy! https://dailymusing57.com/2018/07/01/a-photo-a-week-challenge-from-below/
And this is my first time for this one, so let’s go.
Beautiful capture, dear. Abbey is majestic. Couldn’t find much- https://amaltaas.wordpress.com/2018/07/02/a-photo-a-week-challenge-from-below
Very nice Abbey Nancy. Here are my more down to earth offerings… https://2e0mca.wordpress.com/2018/07/02/a-photo-a-week-challenge-from-below/
A great theme for me as I always seem to be looking up. And London is so obliging with its tall buildings.
Yes, very obliging. 🙂
nice abbey, pity that photos inside are not allowed.
