Autumn means gorgeous colours so this was difficult. But the air is misty and the castles looming on the hill tops show their age. The first castle is the Windeck in Weinheim, the two other photos are of the Strahlenburg, which is about 10 km south at the Bergstraße in Schriesheim.

I like these in black and white. Especially the last photo of the crumbling castle wall.

Glad you like my “home” castle. I’ve grown up in its shadwos.

Nice. Any good legends attached to it?

Not particularly. It’s been built by Lorsch Abbey with the pretext to protect the town but more to the point to collect taxes. And then it just stood there. Got kind of pounded during the 30years war and now we have picturesque ruin,
