Quite in style: the exit of Ludwig’s Wagnerian Grotto .

The artificial cave King Ludwig II had made for himself, based on motifs from Wagner operas. Electric lighting, heating... They say the man was crazy, but my guess is that he was only expensive. No flash, no tripod... Pride being one of the Seven Deadly Sins, I fear I’m a bit proud of the result! www.schlosslinderhof.de/englisch/park/pict13.htm

Detail of the shell boat. It is now seated on a frame a few centimeters above the water surface. No flash, no tripod... Sadly, it shows! www.schlosslinderhof.de/englisch/park/pict13.htm
