#castle
This imposing castle is situated beautifully in the woods and hills of the Eifel region in Germany. I decided to visit it after sunset, to see it go dark and hopefully catch a glimpse of the Milky Way above it. This proved difficult, as an 83% full moon behind the hill quite heavily outshone the stars lower in the sky. And because I only brought my 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses on vacation, I had no means – other than shooting a vertical panorama – to go any wider than this.
So here is my attempt at shooting the Milky Way above Burg Eltz. It wasn't a very successful attempt, unfortunately. But hey, at least I enjoyed my time here. It wasn't all that cold and I brought hot tea and cookies. This is a blend of two shots, by the way. One some time after sunset, just after civil blue hour had ended, and a second once astronomical blue hour was past and it was officially dark. Well, if it wasn't for that pesky moon, that is.
What do you think? Was this a success? Or was it merely a nice try, and do I need to go back some time?

It means "castle".
Seen here at the site of the Merkinė hill fort, which has (sadly) been lost to history.

A veces hay que hacer castillos en la arena y soñar.
Sometimes you have to build castles in the sand and dream.
Since we are at it, here is another B&W panorama for one I've posted last week for Ashford Castle. Gloomy though...

A tragedy forecast in four warning panels:
1) Walking a small child about the castle, without looking where you’re going
2) Loosing your footing on the uneven floor
3) Tumbling arse first down the uneven staircase
4) Ravenous seagulls plunder your carcass
No word yet on the fate of the orphaned child.
Your intrepid host has just captured Beaumaris Castle, Wales.
Some more pictures of the medieval fair of Montcornet, France, where I performed ten days ago and presented some folk, medieval and traditional instruments.
Now it's time to get ready for Castlefest, starting this Thursday. Can't wait to be there!
From the woods with love,
