This is a photo of King Ludwig’s magnificent Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. Shortly after this photo was taken, a flight of dragons appeared and started circling the castle. Knowing that photographing dragons is certain to provoke their ire, I resisted the temptation. Tragically, a group of tourists near us were unaware of the dragons’ extreme reaction to being photographed. Sadly, they were all incinerated as soon as they aimed their Canons at the dragons. Equally tragic is the exposure of this photograph. It is pretty flat light. I’ll be interested to see your edits.
