Love the angle I like how it's framed with shadow on one side and sun on the other. I love how my eyes move up the pond, stop by the water birds (duck or geese), pause at the rushes and then continue to the castle. Great vista and coloring. Nice post Cornelius.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

You knew exactly how to capture that beauty. I would have made the mistake and come to close. But showing it in that beautiful landscape is just perfect. Thumbs up!
I read your link, and I am glad that the restoration took place at all..and your perspective and take on this very wonderful piece of history was worth every effort you made..thank you!
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
"The more we come in contact with animals, and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care for their young." - philosopher Immanuel Kant
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
