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

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....

EXPLORE #20 THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!!!
Digging out one from my two glorious days on the Brocken last year. The sun doesn't shine often on the former GDR's highest mountain but when it does one can be guaranteed postcard perfect pictures. The Harzer Schmalspurbahn (HSB) is one of the busiest steam railroads in the world with trains running almost every hour, every day, all year.
Lucerne
The city of Lucerne, with its famed - and much photographed - medieval Chapel Bridge, one of the oldest covered bridges in Europe (1).
Lucerne, a city in central Switzerland with approximately 80,000 residents, is absolutely beautiful and visiting it was one of the highlights of our trip. Life in Lucerne may be challenging for residents, however, as the city attracts nine million visitors (mostly day-trippers like me) each year (2). These visitors, many of whom come by large coach, snarl traffic, fill the streets, public squares and and restaurants, and in general, radically change the city dynamics each and every day. Research suggests that day trippers to Lucerne outnumber those to Venice, Rome, Barcelona and Paris - all much larger cities with significantly greater supporting infrastructure (2).
Suffice to say, while I have some guilt about my role in this problem, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this magical city on the water!
Ps - I’m sorry that I haven’t replied to comments this week - I promise that I will! It’s been a whirlwind week, and of course, with the multi-day Flickr migration, access has been challenging 😊 It’s great to have the system back up and running!

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*
It's not very difficult to come up with postcard images in Prague. The views are literally on every step. I took this one from the castle walls of Vysehrad, across the river, just as the dusk started to settle in over this beautiful city.
This is the first time ever I enjoy seeing this building, on the left the skating rink...large
