Eltz Castle is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River in Germany. It is still owned and lived in by a branch of the same family (the Eltz family) that lived there in the 12th century.
The main part of the castle consists of the family portions. At up to eight stories, these eight towers reach heights of between 30 and 40 metres. They are fortified with strong exterior walls. About 100 members of the owners' families lived in the over 100 rooms of the castle.
It's other claim to fame is that it is one of only two such castles on the West side of the Rhine that have never been conquered.

Two similar signs, one in Freiburg at the restaurant "Storchen", the other in Colmar. Despite the different countries and languages, there's a lot of joint history. Nonetheless, there are differences that immediately let you recognize which shot is from Germany and which from France.

A Renaissance highlight in the Southwest of Germany.
Set in the scenic landscape of the Tauber valley, Weikersheim Palace (Schloss Weikersheim) lies at the heart of the small town of Weikersheim.
With its beautiful garden, the palace embodies the Renaissance ideal of a country estate.In 1586, Count Wolfgang of Hohenlohe took up residence in the former moated castle, and promptly ordered the construction of a new palace. With an unusual three-sided floorplan, the palace reflected the Renaissance style of the time, but foreshadowed the Baroque era that was to come.
The most distinctive feature of the palace grounds is the many Baroque statues that populate the garden.
empty park during lunch break ....:-)

This image shows a view from the beach to the pier at Zingst at the Baltic Sea. It was cold and a bit misty, an exposure time of 4 minutes led to this result. At the end of the pier there is the diving gondola.
Diesen Blick entlang der Seebrücke in Zingst habe ich an einem kalten Abend im November gemacht. Im Hintergrund sieht man die Positionslichter des Windparks vor Zingst. Eigentlich wollte ich mit der Belichtungszeit von 4 Minuten auch die Geisterbilder rechts vermeiden, das hat leider nicht geklappt! Also muss ich wohl beim nächsten Mal doch noch nachts raus, um den Anblick in voller Klarheit zustande zu bringen. ;-)
