Another one from the ´bin`. I posted another view of this castle for the "Curves" contest earlier. This is a closer view of the front of the the castle.
"Vadstena Castle was built by King Gustav Vasa in 1545 as a fortress to protect Stockholm from enemies from the south. The fortress consisted of three smaller stone buildings facing the lake, Vättern, three 31 meter wide ramparts, a courtyard, a moat and four circular cannons turrets." (quote from Wikipedia)
All comments are most wellcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

Great castle, love the water(I guess the moat!) right against it. Wonderful capture!

Nice to see a castle with a moat and water. I really like the looks of this. It appears to have been well maintained or refurbished. Great post Susanne.

Can I go for a canoe ride in the moat? I have to agree with Owd Bob, though. It looks like a prison. I like the stone work of that huge structure. I wouldn't want to be the widow washer though. LOL. Nice angle on the castle, Susanne.

Great work bringing out the textures in the building and constrating them with the smooth, glass top of the water.

Such an imposing fortress, and from your description, very well protected. I like your perspective, which makes it seem very high and very strong...
