A Breathtaking View

Several years ago, myself and my girlfriend at the time (now my wife!), and a few of our closest friends visited the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. After a hike through the forest, we reached a bridge and were rewarded with one of the most amazing views I have seen- the castle emerging from the mountains in the middle of the countryside. I took a picture from my vantage point on the bridge, and it is one of my favourite photos that I have taken. As my entry, I have recreated that photo (included below).

To recreate this scene at a micro scale and have the angle of the castle match the viewpoint from my picture, I built a 3D structure at an angle. The clouds are built stretched out to achieve a realistic effect when the “Polaroid” is viewed from the front. The clouds are in the same positions as in my picture, with the river in the background and the castle rising out of the rocks, with the forest at its feet. I enjoyed capturing this great memory & sight in LEGO form!
