  • What a beautiful photo. I love how the steel grey roofs make the thunderclouds even more ominous. And the castle is amazing. I would love to visit it.

  • We've just seen it on TV, a few days back in a live broadcast, but it did not look so beautiful as it does in your phto. Maybe the stormy sky adds a welcome contrast.
