Wagner! A masterpiece, although a bit reminiscent of good old Adolph! Uplifting, no doubt! I remember marching to it, on my way to the dentist

author says:

Yeah, Wagner rocks! It's a shame Hitler liked him so much as he gets a bum rap through association. That song always reminds me of the scene in Apocolypse Now, and these geese kind of reminded me of the helicopters approaching the beach.

Dead right, author, and yes, most people associate it with Francis Ford's masterpiece. And for sure I wasn't joking about one thing; it is uplifting! I just love listening to it.

The castle is located in an ornamental garden. It is surrounded by water, stone buildings. In the neighbourhood you will discover outbuildings in a neoclassical style.

(I live at almost 500m of that castle, walking in its park is a real pleasure !) (5 years and 2829 days ago)

Striking photo with the light on the Palace and the very ominous clouds and the structure on top of the hill. Well done.
