The Ogrodzieniec Castle
Uploaded: October 03, 2008
The Ogrodzieniec Castle is the most impressive Eagle Nest of all the sights on the Eagle Nest Trail on Jura Highlands, Poland. The first castle was built in 12th century and after it had been completely destroyed it was rebuild and extended. The last extensions of the fortress were made in the year 1545. The castle was inhabited till the year 1810. The photo was taken during the day but I wondered what the place would like at night with the full moon high above in the sky. This is what I come up with after playing with the photo in PS Elements.
