Augustusburg Castle, Bruhl, Germany
As I approached the castle my story takes a different turn, it is because the doors are shut. ‘Castle remains closed on Monday’ I read on a board there. Amidst all planning I forgot to check the holidays of this site. ‘This is what happens when you plan the tour yourself’ I said to myself!
We roamed around for sometime, the church nearby too was closed, thankfully the gardens were open. I will be posting on that soon. We spotted some avians in the stream flowing near by. One particular moorhen was behaving a little aggressive. We didn’t realize we were approaching its nest. As we neared we saw a couple of eggs in it, white ones, slightly bigger than hens’ I thought. This was exciting; we soon forgot about the closed castle and got involved in taking pictures of the moorhen and its eggs.
Unplanned ecstasy ! Castle looks magnificent from the outside.
Beautiful castle and with great details. I will like to visit this place. Great pictures
Happy weekend to you:-)
Fantastic castel, Indrani. Very nice sequence of pictures!
I love castles, I'd get one, I know I ask too much!! AH! AH! AH!
Hi Indrani! Today is a holiday in Portugal, but it’s the worst winter day we had since last October… As grey as if we were living in Northern Europe… So, the only right thing to do is surfing the Net… 😉
Amazing baroque…
Blogtrotter Two is now in St. Kitts and Nevis… Enjoy and have a great week!!!
Good spotting! You didn't go away empty handed!!
Compliments on your research and the eggs was a nice pic!
Very nice castle.
Hi there I am just catching up om you recent posts some lovely scenes of your travels, the cherry blossom and that moon. Thanks also for all the support you give me on my photography blog.
A nice building, and, don't forget, you've left your eggs, 'cause they will get cold.
What a beautiful castle, grand and exotic!! Fantastic captures.
Lovely pictures….
Brühl I know very well, before moving to Belgium I lived in Bonn for 9 years and aftewards my parents went back to Germany near Brühl when my fathe retired. BTW apparently you didn't come to Brussels.
Never-mind, next time you won't miss out when you plan your trips…it is good that those cute creatures distracted you from your disappointment:)
Good photos. Me too I love to visit this castle.
Beautiful place and beautiful capture
thanks
Very well done

Those eggs are magnificent in their own was as the castle is in its way. Great stuff.
now you have another reason to revisit!
beautiful captures!
Lovely shots, Indrani.
Lovely photos, here and under.. 🙂
And wow, what a fantastic photo of the woman and the elephant! 🙂
Sometimes the unplanned sights can be unexpected delights. I enjoyed this post.
It is beautiful castle and I do look forward to seeing more pics, but I LOVE the duck and her eggs! What wonderful captures and I'm certain it was fun being able to see this! It would have been for me, I know! Hope your week is going well, Indrani!!
