"AFTER THE STORM" ---- When this photo was shot, I wanted to take pictures of the famous Neuschwanstein Castle, in Germany. Unfortunately on that day it was raining heavily, so we could only see the inside of the beautiful castle. With my 7-year old son, I wanted to hike up to Marionbrucke, the famous vantage point to take photos of the castle, despite the rain. We could only walk about 500m up on the hill when the rain suddenly stopped, and at an overlook we could catch a glimpse of this incredible view, just as the sun was about to break through the clouds, enlightening the smaller brother of Neuschwanstein, the Hohenschwangau Castle (depicted on the left on the image). It was haze clouds and steam everywhere, but we waited tripod ready for the right moment when the castle is actually coming out of the steam (it was completely covered at times), and finally captured what you see here.
