    Castles on islands?! That is too cool. But my favorite is the one smack in the middle of lush green mountains. Mountains are my favorite natural landscape so that place would probably be too much for my little heart to handle. Haha.

    Oh, yay! I was at the third picture from the top! That is actually an outbuilding of the main castle on the property. It's part of Boldt Castle in Alexandria Bay, NY. There is a bowling alley in there. So cool!

    OMG these are soooo cool. I would love to live in a castle and be like a proper princess even if it was just for a day. You even have the disney castle on there. Part of me is still wondering about Disneyland Paris longing to live in it :( I'm not kidding but I took about at lest 75 photos of it in the space of 4 days!!! That little collection was absolutely lovely. Thatnkyou for shareing.
    P.S. That first one in the snow was sooo beautifull. Like something out of a winter fairytale :)

  41. Unknown22 February, 2011 14:00

    These are so beautiful.
    I'm not 100% sure but the second from the bottom looks like the castle on Lake Bled in Slovenia. As I said I'm not completely sure but it looks like it. And I'll be able to confirm in June as I'm finally going to see it live. I'm almost giddy, been waiting years to go to Slovenia.
    P.S. Loved your wedding photos.

    Great line-up of some truly inspiring works of architecture...but you forgot the best one...the Alacazar in Segovia, Spain. I've only seen it in pictures, but it's a stunner.(thought I doubt it ever gets completely covered in snow...or balloons!)
