The Neuschwanstein Challenge!

Where: Schwangau (Bavaria, Germany)
What: Neuschwanstein (or "New Swanstone Castle") is one of the most popular castles and palaces in Europe. Built in one of the most idyllic settings imaginable the castle was meant as a homage to Richard Wagner and as a retreat for the "fairy-tale king Ludwig II.

Interesting facts:

  • Neuschwanstein is looking good every season! Check the images.
  • The first mention of castle Neuschwanstein was in 1864 in a letter from Ludwig II, King of Bavaria, to the man he admired Richard Wagner
  • The construction of the castle took longer than expected (1868-1892) and as such Ludwig II only ever saw his new castle as a building site as he died in 1886
  • The picture cycles of Neuschwanstein were inspired by the operas of Richard Wagner however not directly modelled on Wagner's works, but on the medieval legends
  • Behind the medieval appearance of the castle the latest technology was in operation: hot air central heating, running water available on every floor, toilets with an automatic flushing system, an electric bell system to summon servants, a lift for meals and even telephones
  • Due to the extremely special building site of Neuschwanstein movement in the foundation area has to be continuously monitored, and the sheer rock walls must be repeatedly secured
  • Need more information? Check out the official website

Neuschwanstein Challenge is open until Octobre 1st. Have a COUNTDOWN here! With this said there remains only one thing to say:

GOOD LUCK on the challenge! Create for us some breath-taking Pictures of the Neuschwanstein castle for some awesome GA wins!

EDIT: It seems there is a slight mistake in the original unconnected pictures for the dots #156 and #157. As such you are allowed to connect those in the order you seem most beneficial to express your artistic desire. Have fun.

Well, at least this one time I will do some work and submit something of my own. Did I by hand and then scanned the result. Obviously the colours seemed to bleak afterwards. So I did some modifications ......

Can I submit a 4-Koma? Probably not. In that case I will go for the Nightmare Edition (bottom left picture) since it is a bit more interesting (and also because the black edition porbably does not count as coloured ....). If you want to see the single pictures you check the "album" which also contains the unmodified original.
EDIT: Seems it is possible. In this case this is my submission:

I assume this is watercoloured? Looks kinda eerie to me ^^ And for some reason it reminds me of the Red Room from Deadly Premonition.

After being the host for Neuschwanstein this week I can share the feeling. And I don't have a good excuse to not do it since I'm living only like 200 km away from it ...

And yet I can't shake the feeling that this picture was coloured at one point O.o What horrible things did it see to turn black and white? Also I like the small filter you used over the picture.

Just a small note. New voting is delayed a bit while we're collecting some information from last week's hosts. Can't get hold of them at the moment. :)
