This picture shows the famous Neuschwanstein Castle of King Ludwig II. Situated near Fussen (Bavaria, Germany) it attracts people from all over the world. You can tour not only the beautiful palace (from the inside as well as the outside) but also the incredible landscape including the Alps and the lake "Alpsee". That's why Neuschwanstein is an overall masterpiece that has to be seen in context of the surrounding nature.

From the terrace of the castle gardens in Heidelberg, you can enjoy a view over the old town and the castle ruins. In late September and October, the Sun will set in a perfect spot between the mountain Heiligenberg and the castle, illuminating the city. It is one of the most visited spots for tourists and natives.

This picture is cropped from a much wider panoramic shot that extends further to the right.

This is a private castle that was built on the year 1900 using 50 stonecutters from surrounding cities. The castle took 26 years to complete, ending in 1926. It is surrounded by a swamp with several streams. The castle is in the city of Tanti in the province of Cordoba in Argentina.

The whole place is a beauty to watch. They sure elected a perfect place to build it since it very well reminds you to a medieval time (or at least what we see in films and history documentaries). Unfortunately, the place was closed (by huge and massive steel gates with chains). Since is private. So I was only able to take a few from the outside.
