Vianden Castle Photo

Photographer’s Note

Fogs...they are typical of Luxembourg (I suppose Luxemburgian friends will agree)
In autumn you get up in the morning, it's dark till 8 (joking), then fog till 1 pm (no joke).
While driving to Vianden which is 47 km from Luxembourg, I didn't even notice the castle until it was shown to me...
Here the fog is going down so after a half an hour the sky was clear with beautiful sunshine.

Vianden is not densely populated (about 1500 people) and lies on the Our river, near the border between Luxembourg and Germany.
It's famous for its castle built in middle ages which you can admire from a chairlift which operates from the banks of the river in the lower part of the town taking you high above the castle with magnificent views over the landscape

With a special dedication to my friends who always patiently look for NEW castles whenever I'm there...

Hi Gosia,
the architectural detail looks fantastic with the tree branches in FG and the fog in BG.Lovely autumn colors add a charming atmosphere.
Congrats and have a nice Sunday,
Zeynep

Hello Gosia. A wonderful postcard of this beautiful motive. The trees and branches in the foreground are an ideal framework. Very beautiful transparent light. Best regards, Wolfgang.
Have a nice Sunday.

Hi Gosia!

Excellent "natural" framing for this great architecture photo, great overall composition! The castle is very impressive and the mist enchances the fairy-like atmosphere! Excellent light managment, under dificult conditions and wonderful, soft colours! congratulations!

Best regards,
Hercules

Hi Gosia!
IN about two weeks,I`ll be there again and I`ll search for this good POV.
Great Composition.I like how the castle is framed by the two different trees.Nice autumnal tones and good contrast with the grey sky.
Regards,Leo

Witaj, to widzę, ze do Luksemburga pałasz jakims sentymentem, bo tym razem jesienne zdjecie. Ładne złote kolory, a dzieki tej mgiełce zamczysko wyglada dość tajemniczo.

Pozdraiwam
