Lot's of great pics came up with this search, but I chose this one because I have been to this castle, Hohenschwangau, in the Bavarian Alps in southern Germany. Gotta see it IN LARGE ON BLACK It's one of many that the Kings of Bavaria built in this area in the 19th century. This one is unique though because it was rebuilt the ruins of a castle that dates to the 12th century. Certainly an ideal spot for one. The HDR really enhances foreground detail, and, of course, the cloud treatment it renders creates mood.
