Castle..., a photo from Bayern, West

Photographer's Note

Castle Neuschwanstein.

Neuschwanstein Castle, (English: "New Swanstone Castle") is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Fьssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds.

The palace was intended as a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but it was opened to the paying public immediately after his death in 1886. Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer. The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and later, similar structures.

Schwangau is a municipality in the district of Ostallgдu in Bavaria, Germany. The village lies 4 km from the larger town of Fьssen and just 1.5 km from Hohenschwangau, a collection of tourist-oriented facilities adjacent to the major tourist attractions of Schloss Neuschwanstein and Schloss Hohenschwangau.

Schwangau has no railway station, but is served by buses connecting to Fьssen, Hohenschwangau, and other nearby Alpine towns. It is the next-to-last town on the Romantic Road tourist route that terminates in Fьssen.

Hello Krzysztof,
Original idea to hide the castle behind the trees.
It works very well here for there you created a very attractive composition with bright, vivid colours.

Witaj Krzysztof,
i tried a lot to take some good photos from the entrance of the castle but the high trees covered a big section of it like in your shot.The side view was much better.

Regards,Danos

Witaj Krzysztof,

A good upward pov on the castle and the trees soften the harsh outlines. Good sharpness and perspective has been well managed placing the verticals centrally. Tfs!
