let down your hair

... and let your prince climb up to you!! This is the Rapunzel tower at the castle park in Ludwigsburg, I saw it when I went to see the pumpkin exhibition . To re-read the fairy tale click here or here. Don't forget to leave a comment and may we all live happily ever after.

Updated after the third comment, joining Sepia Scenes, check out the link !! Here's the same picture after a bit of sepia treatment, to add a bit of visual romanticism, like in the old times...

  7. now you've got me on a quest to figure out why the tower was built. LOL! I can't really find any info on the tower...just on Rapunzel. Which came first? The tower or the story?
    I never knew the tower existed. It's very cool and your pictures are awesome.

  17. I've been practicing tranforming my pictures into sepia, and I think you have to choose carefully. I hope with time, I'll improve my eye-trainning. You already have it!

  19. Fascinating pictures, Mar! SEPIA is quite amazing! Have you ever seen "INTO THE WOODS"? It is a Musical by Stephen Sondheim that covers many a fairytale like the Repunzal story, from a slightly new perspective! When you mentioned the Repunzal Tower, that is what I thought about.
