Here are more fairy tale castles to charge your imagination. These, again, I took from photographs and enhanced the images using Adobe Photoshop filters. I still find it amazing how this fabulous tool from Photoshop can change  a photograph, one by taking two colors from the original image and using them to enrich the background and foreground and/or then adding techniques that give the effects of a work of art.

I found inspiration for the  castles shown below, from two fellow bloggers: Four Blue Hill’ post, “Amazing Castles from Around the World” http://fourbluehills.com/2012/01/20/amazing-castles-from-around-the-world/ and from What the Dutch ‘s post, “De Haar Castle” http://whatthedutch.wordpress.com/2011/09/29/de-haar-castle/. The original photograph used in the last image of my post here, I believe the blogger (What the Dutch) shot themselves. It is so beautiful that just looking at the original photo makes me want to get on a jet and fly to Holland to see De Haar Castle, stone and mortar with my own eyes and smell the roses that grow around it. Well done!
