Early morning in the Bavarian Alps, in Hohenschwangau. After days waiting for it to snow, it did! It snowed through the night, and stopped just short of daybreak. I was lucky enough to capture a small break from the dense fog that is very common in this region. The clouds began to lift, and i was hoping to be rewarded with the beautiful view of the towering Alps in the distance. A few minutes later the fog lowered and visibility was very low. But the fresh snow covered landscape made up for it!

Neuschwanstein Castle (German: Schloss Neuschwanstein, pronounced [nɔʏˈʃvaːnʃtaɪn], English: “New Swanstone Castle”is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds.

The palace was intended as a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but it was opened to the paying public immediately after his death in 1886 Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle.More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer. The palace has appeared prominently in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle and later, similar structures.
