Front View of Neuschwanstein Castle in Winter

by

At first I was disappointed that the weather at Neuschwanstein castle was so drab during our visit. But when the structure is this impressive, who really cares about the weather? After lunch, we walked up the hill to Neuschwanstein castle. It was as majestic as you might expect, especially with the snowy setting. The photos turned out well, considering the freezing rain … [Read more...] about Front View of Neuschwanstein Castle in Winter

Neverending Arches in Munich, Germany

by

One of my favorite parts of Europe is the views you can find from above. This often involves taking an elevator to the top of a tower and snapping photos of the surrounding area. While elevators are convenient for those on the go, I often find taking the stairs creates even more photo opportunities. This was the case on our recent visit to Munich. Sure we got to take photos … [Read more...] about Neverending Arches in Munich, Germany

I am in love with the city of Berchtesgaden in Germany. We first came here on our honeymoon a few years ago, and I was back for two nights last week. The city is small enough to explore in a few hours, but you can always discover something new along the way. This time we climbed above the city to see a view from above, and then came all the way down to the road level as it … [Read more...] about Sun Setting on the Town of Berchtesgaden, Germany

European Alps Emerging Through The Clouds

by

I can't tell you exactly where this photo was taken, because it was through the window of my plane on the way to Vienna from JFK. I can safely assume it was the european alps, but what country? I have no idea. It could have been Switzerland, France, Germany or Austria. The flight itself was quite nice. Business class on Austrian Airlines. Will have to share that review at … [Read more...] about European Alps Emerging Through The Clouds

Inside View of Budapest’s Matthias Church [Photo of the Week]

by

When people talk about the cities of Europe, many say that Prague and Budapest are the most beautiful cities that you can visit. While I probably need to visit more cities to confirm that notion, I can say that Prague and Budapest are indeed beautiful. From the architecture to the artistic details inside buildings and churches, I was very impressed by both cities when I visited … [Read more...] about Inside View of Budapest’s Matthias Church [Photo of the Week]
