Idyllic Red Castle - Smithisonian Photo

Photographer’s Note

If I were to choose an idyllic castle from all the ones I've been to, the Smithsonian Red Castle on the National Mall in DC has to be one of the most charming that I have seen. It has a magic allure that even outshines those follies of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria - Neu Schwanstein, the Linderhof and even the monstrosity that is on the Herreninsel in the Chiemsee... Even the austere Medievil structures of Transylvania and the Czech Republic don't exude the sense of majesty and really perfect proportions between its own elements - turrets, towers and windows and thos of the surroundings it is situated in...

This was a passing shot - made possible, once again, by digital technology - no filtres, flashes or tripods, a little resizing, no cropping. One shot. One castle. Vadda voom!

Bonsoir Scott,

Ta photo nous prouve que les répliques médiévales de châteaux se trouvent partout dans le monde et que VIOLLET-LE-DUC a fait des émules.
Merci de nous permettre, par cette photo, de voyager dans le temps.
J'ai tenté, par un post traitement, de corriger les déformations dues à l'objectif; j'espère que cela sera à ton goût.
Gilles
