alice in linderhof

got to linderhof late in the day,

which was nice (avoided summer

hordes); became so enamored of

hilltop gardens and grotto that

i realized i hadn't seen anyone in

about 20 minutes. no one. anywhere.

then became a little concerned that

they'd closed the place with me in it.

(although...how bad would that be?)

anyway, the first pic is me practically

running down the deserted pathway

(well, taken during the jog) and the

others in this little group (all iphone,

for i'd filled up my other camera a bit

earlier) were taken about that time.

you're not allowed to take pics in the

palace. 'tho some did (on the sly), i just

couldn't bring myself to (except for

photos of front entry, when it seemed

a free-for-all; those will come later,

probably).

anyway, as you already know, the

palace is something else. each small

room might merit a week, at least,

of looking.

ludwig. what a guy.

(just got back, have had no internet

for awhile. more soon. hope your

summer is delightful and in full bloom.)
