Wierschem, Germany

Burg Eltz is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River
between Koblenz and Trier, Germany. It is still owned by a branch of the same family
that lived there in the 12th century, 33 generations ago.

A fabulous, fairy tale like image. The mono interpretation is just perfect for he scene. Amazing that it is still in the same family after all this time. ~BV~
