Cinderella's Bridge

Nikon D90, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro AF DX, 11mm, F 22, ISO 200, 3 Exposures. 



Welcome to my first blog and my first post!

Neuschwanstein Castle  in Southern Bavaria (Germany) sits on top of a mountain in the middle of a landscape packed with beauty.  No wonder King Ludwig II decided to build his castle is this area.  We stood at the bottom of the Pöllat Gorge where a waterfall led our eyes up to the Marienbrücke.  This lookout point was built even before Ludwig’s castle, which is directly behind the camera about 100 above us.  The castle is also known as Cinderella Castle because it is the castle that gave Walt Disney inspiration for his own castle in Disney World, Cinderella Castle.

Tomorrow I will post the view from the top on the Marienbrücke and the stunning view of Neuschwanstein Castle.
