... no, not L.A. this time. But signed with love, forevermore.

Early in the 20th century, it was very popular to dress up animals and stage scenes like this. People used to love sending them to each other!
Das Schloß Neuschwanstein wurde ab 1869 für den bayerischen Märchenkönig & Schöngeist Ludwig II. als idealisierte Vorstellung einer Ritterburg aus der Zeit des Mittelalters errichtet. Die Entwürfe stammen von Christian Jank, die Ausführung übernahmen Eduard Riedel und Georg von Dollmann. Der König lebte nur wenige Monate im Schloss, er starb noch vor der Fertigstellung der Anlage.
Neuschwanstein ist das berühmteste der Schlösser Ludwigs II. und eine der bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Deutschlands. Es wird jährlich von etwa 1,5 Millionen Touristen besucht - jetzt auch von mir. Hier eine klassische Ansicht der Südseite von der Marienbrücke zur Blauen Stunde, die einige Geduld seitens des Fotografen erforderte, bis die Brücke endlich menschenleer war und sich nur noch kaum bewegte.
Neuschwanstein was built in 1869 for King Ludwig II. of Bavaria erected as an idealized idea of a knight’s castle from the time of the Middle Ages. The designs were created by Christian Jank, the design was taken over by Eduard Riedel and Georg von Dollmann. The king lived only a few months in the castle, he died before the completion of the plant. Neuschwanstein is the most famous of the castles of Ludwig II. and one of the most famous sights in Germany. It is visited annually by about 1. 5 million tourists – now also by me. Here is a classic view of the south side from the Marienbridge at the blue hour, which required some patience on the part of the photographer until the bridge was finally deserted and barely moved.

I have to go to this castle a couple of times a year, it is worth a visit at any time of the year.
This morning the sun was shining so beautifully, but when I got there the sun was gone ...

Ich muss dieses Schloss ein paar Mal im Jahr besuchen, es ist zu jeder Jahreszeit einen Besuch wert.
Heute morgen schien so schön die Sonne, doch als ich dort ankam war die Sonne verschwunden....

I was born in a time when people used to send postcards to each other, and I've decided to start sending postcards to a few special people I really love on special occasions. Maybe it's a small step for this age and humanity, but it's great for me. Chuckles*
Whitby is a seaside town in Yorkshire, northern England, split by the River Esk. On the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea, the ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey was Bram Stoker’s inspiration for “Dracula”. Nearby is the Church of St. Mary, reached by 199 steps.(Wikipedia).

Did you know small postcards came into circulation in 1869 and were so popular 10 million copies sold in a single year?
I tried to capture the colors of those cheesy 50’s Hotel Postcards but I didn’t quite succeed.

If there's one thing you can't miss when you visit this northern Tasmanian coastal town, it's the tribute to the Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) which once thrived along this coastline. Sadly for this special little creature (once known affectionately as Fairy Penguins), the introduction of exotic species like dogs and cats have put them into the endangered category.
But the people of Penguin truly love their spirit animal, and most are now highly responsible pet owners. But much of the damage has already been done. As this postcard I have created shows, there is hardly a building in town that doesn't bear the name or image of a penguin.

Built for the Sailors and Boatmen category of the Summer Joust
I had fun creating this tiny imaginary port city. I like to imagine this as a postcard a sailor might send home to loved ones as a glimpse into their far away voyages.
Welcome 2014 :) I hope everyone enjoyed or are still in the process of welcoming the new year. My last day of 2013 was a bit of an emotional roller coaster at first but then it turned out just fine. Looking forward to catching up with everyone :) This is one of my last images from 2013. That's my girlfriend over there while we wonder around on the beach. Later everyone :) Peace!
This was the first image taken from a day of chasing the light on Exmoor this Autumn. Many bows, plus the odd soaking and a walk thrown in for good measure. Wishing everyone a top week :-)
Taken on Weybourne Beach, Norfolk, England. Just between me an you Weybourne is a great place to take photos, with cliffs, boats, tractors, a pebble beach, a windmill, fields, wild flowers, bird life, fishermen, the sea and the odd WW2 defensive structure you can always find something interesting to capture.
Mango and Guava finally realized that they were in Amsterdam, not Paris, and they had a good laugh. They found a shop selling gigantic postcards, and bought one to remember their giant misunderstanding. How will they get it home? They will figure that out later.
