(From my big trans-European trip of 1990, with two friends of mine).
(The first picture of the series is here: http://www.fotothing.com/karlbark/photo/f69e850729a1ce1e49f80ced33211c72/ )

-And another picture from Venice. This might well be the most photographed place in Venice - the Rialto bridge.

It was completed in 1591 and is in fact remarkably similar to the wooden bridge it succeeded. The single-span engineering of the bridge was considered so audacious that architect Vincenzo Scamozzi predicted future ruin. (The wooden bridges preceeding the stone bridge had collapsed twice).
-One of the designers who competed for the design of the bridge was Michelangelo himself!

Another castle we visited was the much older Hohenwerfen. (We had crossed the border into Austria by this time). This was a real fortified castle (whereas Neuschwanstein from a few pictures ago, was built as a sort of scenic fantasy castle for the king of Bavaria). The oldest parts are from the eleventh century but the castle was extended in the 12th century and again during the "peasant´s war in the 16th century.

Burg Hohenwerfen was famously used as the castle 'Schloss Adler' in the film
"Where Eagles Dare"!
(Clint Eastwood, Roger Burton) (a.o.)
( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065207/ )


From wikipedia:
Alternatively it was used as a state prison and therefore had a somewhat sinister reputation. Its prison walls have witnessed the tragic fate of many 'criminals' who spent their days there - maybe their last - under inhuman conditions, and, periodically, various highly ranked noblemen have also been imprisoned there including Rulers such as Archbishop Adalbert III (1198), Graf Albert von Friesach (1253), the Styrian governor Siegmund (1525) and Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau (1611).

The Salzburg district administration took possession of the castle in 1938. It was used as a training camp by the Austrian rural police until 1987. It was enlarged and renovated several times over the centuries.

Nowadays this mighty bastion functions as an adventure castle for its visitors. Among the numerous attractions offered by this exciting fortress are guided tours through the fortress showing its extensive weapon collection, the historical Salzburg Falconry with the falconry museum as well as a stylish fortress tavern. The historic Falconry Center is a special attraction, offering daily flight demonstrations by various birds of prey.]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 10:53:12 +0000 nobody@fotothing.com (karlbark)
