Photographer’s Note

Liechtenstein Castle
I'm not very lucky about this castle.
It's closed for renovation until 2010. At the roof you can see a worker at hard time.

Info about the castle from wikipedia
Liechtenstein Castle is a castle located near Maria Enzersdorf south of Vienna. It is located on the edge of the Wienerwald (Viennese Forest). The castle, originally built during the 12th century, was destroyed by the Ottomans in 1529 and 1683, and remained in ruins until 1884, when it was rebuilt.

Liechtenstein ("bright stone") Castle is the origin of the name of the Liechtenstein family, the ruling house of the country of the same name, which owned the castle from at least 1140 until the 13th century and again from 1807 onwards.

Today, the castle is mainly known for the Nestroy Theatre Festival held annually during the summer months. As of June 2009, the castle is currently closed to visitors.

Dear Chris

Liechtenstein, with my parents I spend some holiday in Vaduz and if I remember correctly I have visited the castle as well. It's not the usual capture your picture is a bit different to the general view everybody knows. I like it. The use of the PL certainly was useful even Olympus is known for vibrant colors. Sharpness and DOF are fine. Well done

Best regards
Urs
