Fairytale Castles Around the World

Bran castle, Translyvania Romania (the famous Dracula castle)

Peles castle, Sinaia Romania

What makes castle so intriguing to most people?

Perhaps, it is always associated with prince and princess living happily ever after in fairytales.

Perhaps, it is the grandeur.

Or perhaps, it is the symbol for most ancient cities.

Of all the castle I have visited before, Neuschwanstein remains my favourite and the most fairytale like castle. No wonder even Disney 'borrowed' the idea of their theme parks castle from this one.

Some of the famous castles from the places I visited so far..

Hmm.. I shall write another one of palaces next time.

Linlithgow castle, Scotland (birthplace of Queen of Mary Scots)

Night Views

New York city (credits to WKY)-no tripod usage

Taking a night shot is not an easy task when you dont have the luxury of carrying your tripod around. In fact with a tripod, the shot makes such a great difference. Under the circumstances without a proper tripod, I have to rely on tong sampah. Most of the shots are taken by my bro using his old Canon camera and the rest were with my EOS. My fav :New York city and Coliseum
