Bojnice castle by night Photo

Some facts about Bojnice from wikipedia.org:

Bojnice (Hungarian: Bajmóc, German: Weinitz) is a small town in central Slovakia at the upper Nitra river, near the city of Prievidza. It has population of 4,996 (2004). Bojnice is best known for its tourist attractions: the oldest zoo in Slovakia, the most visited castle, and one of the oldest spa towns in Slovakia.

The town is situated below the Bojnice Castle, which is built on a travertine rock with a natural cave. Bojnice Castle was first mentioned in written records in 1113. The castle has appeared in many international films and a well-known international festival of specters takes place there every year.

Hello Sandra,
this is a wonderful castle and you managed the light very well, indeed. I like very much the shadow of the front tower on the building behind. I like very much your professionalism. Thanks to the appropriate lights located there, the colours seem to be natural. Congratulations!
Best wishes,
Athanasios.
