Le Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard

It took quite a bit of roaming about to find the "perfect" vantage point for this 1000 year old castle. The castle is surrounded by magnificent landscape, the mountains, the lake and the forest. It is difficult to do it justice, but luckily at least the light was on my side. Of course the barren trees and bushes leave room for improvement, but unfortunately I did not have time to wait for spring.
