Photographer's Note
"Bran Castle (Romanian: Castelul Bran; German: Törzburg; Hungarian: Törcsvár), situated near Bran and in the immediate vicinity of Braşov, is a national monument and landmark in Romania. The fortress is situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia, on DN73. Commonly known as "Dracula's Castle" (although it is one among several locations linked to the Dracula legend, including Poenari Castle and Hunyad Castle), it is the home of the titular character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is, however, no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad III, voivode of Wallachia, the putative inspiration for Dracula. As discovered by the Dutch author Hans Corneel de Roos,[1] the location Bram Stoker actually had in mind for Castle Dracula while writing his novel was an empty mountain top, Mount Izvorul Călimanului, 2,033 metres (6,670 ft) high, located in the Transylvanian Călimani Alps near the former border with Moldavia."rnwikipediar

Hello Alexandru,
This is an excellent composition and a superbly taken photo of the illuminated castle at the foot of the dark hill, below the magnificent flashes of light.
Regards,

Hi Alexandru
Superb photo. To catch lightning in all its perfect majesty like this alone is amazing, but with the castle and silhouette of the mountains, is a one of a kind. Fantastic photo, thanks for sharing. It inspires me to try again to capture lightning, something I have never been able to do.
Best wishes
Noel
