Germany, Neuschwanstein, 1990 - Neuschwanstein Castle, south of Munich, may be the most picturesque castle in the world. It was built by Mad King Ludwig, who may have met his end by foul play. Although history books say that he drowned, this may have been at the hands of foes who wanted to put an end to his castle-building. For many years, I promised my grandmother that I would buy this castle for her! We put a photograph of Neuschwanstein on her kitchen wall. The photograph was taken from this vantage point, but I did not realize how difficult it was to reach it. I had to climb down the chasm opposite the castle and then up a rather steep mountainside.
