World's largest Wine Fest

Bad Dürkheim, Germany

600th Anniversary of the Wurstmarkt (literally: Sausage market) in the spa town of Bad Dürkheim, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
is the world's biggest wine festival with over 600,000 visitors each year. It is held annually on the second and third weekend of September.
The first Wurstmarkt - under a different name - was held in the year 1417.
As locals like to say – it’s the festival with an amazing atmosphere where you’ll meet old friends that you’ve never seen before.

I find the ferris wheel and the old world look of the village a most interesting combination. Terrific depth and lighting in this beautiful capture Tom. VV
