Germany | Füssen | A fairy tale Castle.

Coming from Istanbul, anywhere one goes in Germany is going to be culturally shocking. My first stop was Füssen which is in Barvaria (for those keeping note!) A very nicely situated town at the foot of the Alps and home to the famous castle of Neuschwanstein (one of King Ludwigs - he had a few).

Füssen is stunning. It had snowed the day before I arrived and then the sun came out and gave off five days of winter warmth which unlike Estonia didn't cause transit nightmares. I mean there is a reason why this place is nick-named the Fairy Tale town, it is like a hidden oasis for a winter get away -  there a few places that one can be as relaxed as here.

These days made for some great (no, un real) photography, which is exactly what I wanted after the busy streets and grey skies of Istanbul. Crisp light, bright bright whites and ridiculous blues that my glass just ate up. There are a couple of shots in here that might need explaining - the one of myself was taken by expert amateur photographer Christina Klüber and the half toned shot was taken through a pair of sun glasses, just for something a little different. Aside from these it was business as usual at camp Canon; big exposures, crazy fish eye, lots of light, some dreamy black and whites and a little snow writing - just the way I like it!
