Description

We visited Karlstejn Castle near Prague in December and had to wait awhile for the next tour to see the inside. Instead of just sitting in the courtyard to wait, I just wandered around taking pictures. One thing that is wonderful in the northern latitudes in the winter is the fantastic soft quality of the light and the long shadows it creates even when it's close to midday. This was taken around noon but it looks like early morning light! This door and part of the crenelated wall of the castle faces the valley so you could imagine a sentry watching down the valley for invaders. Personally, I imagine waking up in the castle and walking out into the beautiful sunlight and drinking my coffee on that balcony! Is that too much to ask?
