A 16:9 black-and-white composition of Lichtenstein Castle (Schloss Lichtenstein) in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The photo, taken in daylight, highlights the neo-Gothic castle's dramatic location on a rocky cliff above the Echaz Valley.
The absence of colour accentuates contrast, structure and timeless elegance, giving this historical monument a classic artistic character.
The surrounding forest and rugged terrain enhance the castle's fairytale appeal, turning the scene into a strikingly monochrome interpretation of southern German heritage.
