My second TrekLens photo of Hamlet's castle, now from a different angle. I hope you enjoy!

Kronborg is known by many also as "Elsinore," the setting for much of William Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Hamlet was performed in the actual castle for the first time to mark the 200th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, with a cast consisting of soldiers from the castle garrison. The stage was in the telegraph tower in the southwest corner of the castle. The play has since been performed several times in the courtyard and at various locations on the fortifications. Later performers to play Hamlet at the castle included Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud and Derek Jacobi, with Christopher Plummer starring in a 1964 television version that was filmed there.
Kronborg houses a statue of Ogier the Dane, who, according to legend, slumbers here until the day Denmark is in grave danger, at which time he will arise and save the nation.
The castle formed the setting for the television Christmas calendar, Jul pĺ Kronborg (English: Christmas at Kronborg), which featured both Hamlet and Ogier the Dane, as well as Christian IV.

Bom dia Kristof.

Sharpness is really great. Interesting architecture with great colors, well done.

Interesting castle Kristof !
Nice pov and colours.

regards, willemien

very nice capture with every subject - the grass, the castle and the sky shares 1/3 of the space horizontally each.
but i think that is too much a space for the grass in the FG. just my observation, Kristof.

TFS

Hey there Kristof,
Nicely composed and presented image.
The tall grass in the foreground, the placement of the castle itself, the deep blue sky all capped off by the great overhanging cloud.
Very interesting to look at and very well done.
