Bavarian Castle in French Style

| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
This is the just one small part of the garden of one of the smaller castles of King Ludvig II called Linderhof. Late in the afternoon the light was fading fast. It is about 40 minutes drive from the Neuschwanstein Castle. The temperature was around 10 degrees and the snow still partially covering the alps see in the background.
Ludwig II built this secluded hunting lodge, it was known as the Kings Hut. Ludwig decided that this will be a New Versailles. It was planned as a modest villa but had become a splendid Rococo palace in the ornate French style. Linderhof is the smallest of the three royal castles, and the only one which was completely finished. (1878).
In the gardens of the castle the visitor can marvel at an oriental curiosity - The Moorish Kiosk, and the Hundings Hut, where the king used to spend his time when he was in a particular Germanic frame of mind. It was acquired by Ludwig in 1876 for the gardens of the Palace. This kiosk was originally been designed for the World Exhibition in Paris in 1876.

Das Foto ist sehr schön, der Übergang von den Bergen zum Himmel ist etwas zu hell.
Hi Murray,
A good POV of the garden of the Linderhof castle and of the mountains in the background, the photo is sharp and clear. It has a good DOF and nice colors. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Murray - not the best light,but the gold sculptures and the green of the vegetation came out quite well, the snowy peaks also add to the appeal, though the featureless white sky does not.
Hi Murray. Nice capture with the Alps for a backdrop. It all looks truly opulent. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.
