The Heidelberg Castle as seen from behind.
Silent Sunday
In summer it is a bit more difficult see the castle ruin Windeck because there are trees in the way. So I took advantage of the unimpeded view.

This is the tower of the Auerbach Castle near Bensheim, seen through the lattice works of bare winter trees.
It was originally built in the 8th century and fell into ruin once before but was rebuilt under the reign of Count Diether IV of the Katzenelnbogen in the 13th century. Katzenelnbogen literally means “cat’s ellbow”. Go figure.
I took my inspiration today from the ruined abbey as seen by Sue on her odd post.

The walls of the Heidelberg castle have stood in their ruined state for the last 300 years and have become a magnet for romanticists and romantics alike.
