Castle in the Sky

Laputa?  No.. This is Füssen, Germany- A small town about 120 km SW of Munich. Although still in Germany, the area of Bavaria where Munich and Füssen is located might as well be another country. The landscape is gorgeous!

Tourists come for the castles: Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. They say that Walt Disney modeled his castle after the famous Neuschwanstein. The amount of tourists speckled all over the castle shows how much we like, or how much we need, the magical illusions of fairy tales.

 

Hm.. underexposed.. >_<

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did not visit Hohenschwangau, but only took photos of it from afar. Castles are more attractive on the outside than they are on the inside anyways. This picture was taken from the view inside Neuschwanstein. Both castles are within walking distance of each other (~40 minutes). This view is really quite magnificent. Borderline magical.

Wish I had a polarizer, but this is a view of the Bavarian countryside.

My first entry using Windows Live Writer. Quite a useful software with a really user-friendly interface.
