Visiting #viandenCastle I hadn't been there since I was a little kid and it was cool to see how much more there is these days. She is as beautiful as ever. #Luxembourg

A view of the castle in black and white. It is pretty and small and nestled in a high spot, surrounded by trees.

An ancient cannon, surrounded by long pole arms in a decorative formation around it on the wall behind it.

A medieval (I think?) metal chest with a heavy and complex mechanism on the inside of the lid

Two slightly battered soft cover books. The first, "Bridge of Birds", shows a few people in a basket suspended by a leaf-propeller above jagged island-like cliffs with greenery and trees jutting out over clouds. The colors evoke a quiet sunset.

Jussi was happy outside in -7 but when it became -18.5°C he thought that was a bit excessive. I learned that my camera wasn't a fan of -5 either, so when I a few days later went to photograph the frozen nature, I kept it snug and warm between photos. #tuxedocat #nikonZF
