Hello Silvio
Never mind the castle: look at the weather! This is a completely other-worldly landscape, courtesy of the mist that has lent a magical, atmospheric quality to your photograph. Superb, and congratulations to you for being in the right place at the right time.
Regards
Will

Saluti, buona serrata

Hello Silvio - The weather is providing you with a great image here but I can imagine that it takes patience for all the elements to come together so perfectly. Magical work with a feeling of another world. A super moment. Warm regards rosemary

Hi Silvio,
The castle here is beautifully rising above the mist here with perfect colours and sharpness. The mist probably covers many uninteresting parts and enhance the beauty of the castle. Perfect!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Cette composition est magnifique. On dirait que les remparts flottent au dessus des nuages et que le soleil fait briller ses tours subtilement. Le tout est d'une grande netteté.

Hi Silvio,

I love this photo & you had a very good vantage point - to me at first I thought it looked like a ship in the sky - of course not it is a modern day ' Noah's Ark... of course not it is a wonderful capture of this amazing fortress like construction taken at the right time of day - amazing photo for all the right reasons.
Well done it is EXCELLENT.

Kind regards,
Dawn.

Ma che bella ed interessante foto, sembra un astronave che naviga tra le nubi. Nonostante il tempaccio il castello è bello ed illuminato e molto dettagliato.
Gran bel lavoro. Grazie

Ciao Silvio! Ero già iscritto nel 2004 col nome pione... poi per tanti anni non ho postato, avendo cambiato indirizzi e tutto, nonostante le mie sollecitazioni a TE non sono riuscito a rientrare, mi sono riscritto 2 anni fa ed è solo da qualche giorno che posto...
Bellissimo questo scatto, racchiude in sé due grandi mie passioni: le nebbie e i castelli...
A presto!
Paolo

adores (28182) 2013-01-23 15:53

Hi Silvio!
The castle rising from the mist is just great and magical:)! Good light, colours and sharpness and a perfect pov!

Robert1969 (6176) 2013-02-03 8:47

Hello Silvio,

This time a picture with less details, but not
less beautiful: the excellent composition, the
lower warm sunlight with the lower clouds
creates a fairytale atmosphere...Great photowork.

Friendly regards,
Robert Alderliefset

annjackman (13177) 2013-02-03 8:51

Hello Silvio,

Excellent!
