Bravo! It must be awesome to see these places in person... I wish we had castles in the US! Real castles, anyway... Looking forward to seeing more amazing photography!

I'm betting the people staying here got to do something similar. As my kindergarted teacher used to say, "The trees aren't dead, they're naked!"

Not necessarily... when I was in kindergarten, we had a tree like this painted on the wall. Then we would each get to make paper leaves and stick them on to celebrate the changing seasons...
