Does Chlodwig’s Ghost Still Dwell Here?

· 6 Comments ·

Not many ghost towns in densely populated central Europe but lots of old ruined castles for ghosts to haunt. This particular one is Burg Königstein to the west of Frankfurt am Main.



I’m not sure if I prefer the monochrome treatment (this particular shade is called bandicoot in photoscape, probably better described as a kind of olive grey, which I like for old buildings and ruins) to the colour version. I like the contrast of the ancient stones to the green of the plants and the blue of the skies.

My walking companion and I lost the rest of the group as well as the trail markings. When we saw this muddy path in front of us we decided to turn around and find a better way.

We turned into this path and ended up with the others again. But – the muddy path was the right way, we learned.

PS: Our shoes were the cleanest.

For Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge.  This week I found some archways.

More streets, roads, paths, and avenues can be found here.
