Dracula's Courtyard, a photo from Brasov, East

Photographer's Note

Draculas Courtyard

Back to Bran Castle (Castelul Bran), whose exterior I showed earlier, and which brands itself as Draculas castle even though there is (hardly) a(ny) link neither to the historical figure nor to the literary figure.

Hi Kars

You had great weather with clear blue sky. I visited in October and there were pumpkins everywhere in the courtyard, but it was much more cloudier. A good downward pov with excellent sharpness. Tfs!

Hej Lars,
Oavsett vem som bott här sĺ är det ett fantasieggande slott med mängder av fina detaljer och även en storslagen natur alldeles nära inpĺ. Du fick med det mesta, inklusive en del besökare, frĺn den här platsen. Jag undrar om jag ens kom sĺ högt innan jag tröttnade och vände.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Well done.
Good evening.

Hallo Lars,
Je hebt een uitstekend uitzichtpunt gevonden.
We zien zowel de binnenkoer met de waterput als de top van de toren.
Mooie architectuur.
De beboste heuvel zorgt voor een schitterende achtergrond.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hi Lars,

The presence of the persons is animating the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the castle. The light is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Hi Lars,
A famous castle and story about Dracula ... well presented, a good angle and a well captured photo, pleasant sunlight, tfs.

jean113 (27819) 2022-05-19 0:32

Hello Lars, maybe we can use our imagination and think that this could be a possible setting for the story of Dracula, why not?
It looks like a very interesting place. You managed a very good point of view looking down into the little courtyard, which is nicely lit and animated by the visitors. I like that you have carefully managed to include all of the tower.
Once again you had lovely weather, with a beautiful blue sky for the background.
Kind regards, Jean

Hi Lars,
Beautiful old castle which obviously gets some extra visitors with Dracula fame. You captured this inner yard on lovely sunlight which shows also details of the background forest well.

Hi Lars,
Fantastic composition. These castles are so different, so stylish! The shape of this tower is quite articular. You had an amazing weather we can admire the colors of the trees on the hill behind. Great position of the tower in the frame. I also like that you included some vampires at the bottom near the fountain. I guess it is a blood fountain if in Dracula castle...
Excellent work,
M

ikeharel (113219) 2022-05-21 6:35

Hello Lars,
Captured well from yet a high POV to include both the inner yard and the top of the tower.
As always, an immaculte photo outcome.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Lars,
It's quite creepy ... knowing that this is a Dracula's Courtyard.
I guess these people do not invite the Dracula into their lives otherwise they'll have two 'bite-marks' ...
I do like this little courtyard with a rather weird small well.
I wonder is it where the Dracula's hidden place :-)
Beautiful scenery b/g.
Tfs,
Loong

Hi Lars.
Wow.... what luck with the day and time when the sun illuminates this small courtyard of Dracula's Castle, ideal as the buildings and beautiful roofs of this iconic place stand out.
Great color that brings out the details of the image, the sharpness is excellent and the lighting is splendid.
Very good work. I like very much.
You have a good day. Very best regards.
Luis.
