Fussen, Germany

This was the little town that we stopped in on our way to the Neuschwanstein Castle.  I think this is where we got the carriage that took us most of the way up to the castle before we had to get out and walk the rest of the way.  Anyway, we had been in Germany over a week and I had expected it to be snowing the entire time or at least have snow on the ground...but it actually snowed only our last two days there...this one was clearly one of those days.  I was in heaven! I love snow!

Neuschwanstein Castle

Over Christmas my Mom was able to convert some old photo prints to digital for me.  This one was taken years ago on a trip to Germany.  At the time...I was using a disposable camera and it was snowing.  This image is not modifed in any way. Not sure why it turned out so blue...maybe it was too cold for the film or they processed the film weird...all these castle shots came out really blue...but I kind of like it.  It was cold that day and I think the blue actually gives it the feel of the chill in the air. This was the last time I saw snow and much as I don't relish the cold...I sure do miss snow!!!
