This picture was taken at Presidio Park, the site of the first European settlement on the west coast - it included a fort and a mission built in 1769. The fort was abandoned and left to ruin while the mission was moved across the valley.
The Junipero Serra Museum was erected on the hill where the fort once stood. This photo shows the museum-turret, while looking north. (The blue-domed tower in the background is on the USD campus, which is located across the freeway.)
FYI: I tried to upload a .dng file in addition to the jpeg, but it was too large and I have given up trying to make it smaller...

I knew immediately what I wanted to do when I saw this. What fun!
Keni, your princess is perfect! She's obviously a night owl since my moonset at sunrise finds her fast asleep.

Thank you Linda but Repunzel was not a princess until after she married the prince and she doesn't like mornings either. They divorced the next year when she caught him cheating with Snow White. The last I heard she was engaged to Prince Hamlet but wasn't getting along well with his mother.
How about black and white

What a scream! The Prince, did she reject him because, as a feminist, she could not tolerate him kissing a woman without asking?
Once again many creative entries. I thought I would go with an aged look.
Moved some things to a different time, space, and, possibly, dimension. ;-)
I thought I would add some drama to the scene.
Here's mine. It's nothing special, just my sort of "normal" LR touches. I did want to dramatize that beautiful sky a tad - not too much, though.
Some really great entries, as always, and a few are very creative - well-done y'all. ;-)
I'm intrigued with the "perspective change" by SoHillGuy, how he was able to bring the blue-domed tower
from the background and have it play a larger role in the view - nice.
