Nordkirchen Castle - North Garden / VenusInsel - no.2

But I will wager that THIS Versailles does not have all the gold and jewels of the other Versailles. Nice contrast and that black, thin border-line makes this even better. - David Lyga

The in/out focus seems to add an implication... implication is sometimes better than direct statement...

@David Lyga Thank you, David. No more gold and jewels today - in 1959, the Schloss was purchased by the State of NRW and has since been the site of "Fachhochschule für Finanzen Nordrhein-Westfalen",
a state-run college specializing in the training of future tax inspectors.

@jtk Yes, I guess the stony guy in front observes the scenery ...

That place should set the right ambiance for training tax inspectors!

I like the out of focus background. It emphasizes both the size of the building and the size of the grounds by concentrating on a smaller detail.

@grahamp Thanks, Graham - I appreciate!
