[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was a sunny spring day on 10th February in the region where I live, so we (me and my husband) decided to take a tour in the Eifel. We visited two castles and saw lovely places.
This is one of the castle we visited. It's Eltz Castle.
I don't know very much about it, but you can read more abou it here.
We were not inside, but I am sure we will revisit it again soon. I would like to see it again when it is snowing or in spring, when everything is fresh and green.

Hello Liliana, this could be from innumerable fairy stories!
A great composition with the road leading us up to the castle door.I love all the textures and the slightly blue-ish tint seems to add mystery.
Look forward to seeing more from here[?]

Hi Lili,
Like a fairytale, excellent capture with a strong lead in and superb mysterious lighting and blue colour tones. Maybe if the sky was a tad darker and a bit more contrastfull it looked even more mystifying. Anyway a superb posting Lili! My compliments.

Castelul este absolut deosebit si-mi place si compozitia dar eu o vad foarte albastra.

This looks like something straight out of a fairytale! How I would like to visit this castle! Very nice photo with wonderful colours and detail. I like the turrets at the top that looks as if the light is shining from the windows and you captured the cobblestones to the entrance so well it not only leads the eye it is as if they are inviting one to enter the castle..

lets go there and make a fiairy tail :)

Great posting of this eerie castle. The lines perfectly lead to the gate...do we want to enter it???

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Lili,

This is a very good pov from which to see this fairy tale castle! I can imagine Rapunzel letting down her hair from one of those turrets!
Lovely sharp detail of the stonework and I like how the upper part of the castle appears to be touching the sky!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Many thanks for your wrm comments on 'My Valentine'.

Super!Perfect!,Maximum!
Lili,cred ca asta este una dintre cele mai bune fotografii de-ale tale!
De ce? Stii tu prea bine de ce, nu mai trebuie sa spun eu asta,nu?
Este atit de clara incit as putea patzi ca si reclama aceea cu corbii,pentru Windex:)
Bravo! Ce pot sa spun mai mult?

Hello Liliana
Thank you for you gentle vows for Valentine's day, home you had a peachy day. For me, my day was spent making photos, we had a nice sunny winter day.I love your photo of that very impressive medieval castle, it reaches so high that it touches the clouds. Good perspective and point of view. The colors are very natural despite the sky is cloudy. In your note, you say it was a sunny day?
I'm going to read more about the place where you live. I have good reasons to believe my ancestors migrated form that region.

Bonjour liliana
