Because in Greece we lack in this type of architecture, I personally like it VERY MUCH and it's one of the things (Medieval architecture in general) I REALLY enjoy when I visit a European country.

Awesome castle, awesome soundtrack and in my opinion one of the most iconic music logos in history. I was once asked in the comment section of a musical list I wrote (think it was Listverse) if I had any idea what this logo is all about. As you understand I did a little research and I am going to share it with you now (or whoever is willing to read).

The "Tongue and Lip" logo as it is known was designed by the GREAT British art designer John Pasche back in the early 70's. When he was asked why a tongue and lip he just replied: I just wanted something anti-authority, but I suppose the mouth idea came from when I met Mick Jagger for the first time at the Stones' offices. ... In a nutshell, it perfectly encapsulated Mick Jagger's lips and the band's rebelliousness. I didn't even have to try hard really! Can you think of anything more rebellious or anti-authority than Mick's lips?

"the band's rebelliousness"

LOL. You know who got back stage passes when the Stones performed in Cuba? Warren Buffet, LOL

I know right! LOL Plus, the concert was "blessed" by Pope Francis and supported by Obama and Oprah! Totally filth!!!!!!!! But hey @onceuponatime, John Pasche was talking about the wild, rebellious kids Mick and Keith were back in the 60's and 70's. It's truly sad how some people start and end up though, isn't it?

Especially this dude right here, who once was the DEFINITION of a rebellious artist and has ended up being the only alive billionaire musician that exclusively attends parties and dinners of the English royal family, the Vatican's oligarchy, Obama, Putin and so on. What money can do to humans huh? lol

How would I know? I haven't had a raise in my allowance for fifty years :-)
(and the Pope NEVER blesses me)

LOL....You keep it real at all times!!!!!!!!!!! And please STAY AWAY from Pope. His blessings may be as "good" as a witch's curse :P

May nightingales wake you each morning and lull you to sleep each night!

Hello! fabulous places! Thank you for helping to travel through photos :)

It is VERY hard to draw me beautiful LOL

hhahaa) oh well! Do not ask for a compliment! :)

Brilliant with reading/looking at your post with the STONES in the background! I love the Rolling Stones!! And I love your conversation with @tkappa! I have to agree with @tkappa...you might want to put on your running shoes if you were to get a blessing haaaaa

Hey! I'm Catholic!

At least they won't have to worry about water in the basement.

That's Himself! Always looking on the bright side!

Once upon a time, in a big old castle, lived a man called onceuponatime....

Oh, man! That would make a GREAT story!

I really like it...you are a very good photographer 😀😀😀...I love too the castles.. this is Bran castle..or Dracula castle... in Romania

I've heard stories of Vlad the Impaler :-)

haha This is what I think too @nikosnitza

haha, thanks and this is my ghost...

First of all, I love your soundtrack music!!! ❤

Second of all, I love your beautiful photos! I always had a BIG LOVE for fairy-tales and castles!!!

So extra kudos for it @onceuponatime!!! 😉

And third of all?

:-)

Third of all, a fairytale story should follow!

A Steemit fairy tale, set in a castle like that would be ideal!

Would you volunteer to be the "damsel in distress"?

Hehehe I have been a volunteer for many "helping others" organisations in my life!!!

So yes, I think it would be fun, someone else to try to save me for a change !!!

It's nice but I'm wondering if you can stay in it.
I saw one you get at least for a while via airbnb even.
It was from this post by @rea :
https://steemit.com/cn/@rea/a-queen-for-the-weekend-in-the-scottish-highlands-part-i

I read in wikipedia that it i a museum now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutenberg_Castle

Ah, I guess no ordinary people will be living in it then. :-)

I have NEVER considered you to e ordinary. Go for it!

Ahaha... I can just say we are all the 'same'. We are unique.

Great shots..Thanks for the choice of soundtrack..

Distance is what is between you n me,
Though you ended my distance with this amazing nature, by clicking them amazingly i dont feel any distant from them

OK, but don't hurt yourself :-)

Never gonna remain hurt , your words will heal all the hurt :)

When something comes from you, its always eye catching and like always cant turn my eye , the mood of these pics will be like once upon a time in future :)

I need to introduce you to my alter-ego, @twiceuponatime, one of these days. He's really in to flattery :-)

These photos are beautiful. Dear @onceuponatime, I admire your style of writing

You mean I've got "style"?
Oh, wow!

You do. The way you tie up your writing with pretty pictures is oh-so orgasmic

I'm not going there :-)

Please do! I am going there with you

To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
I liked your every tittle line you've used on your every picture .
Keep posting like that , i will wait to see more .

OK. Will do.

Wonderful pictures
Castle has amazing architecture.
Really enjoyed your music track and picture
Thanks for sharing.

Is there a road or an elevator leading up to there? Nice trips you take... :)

I never got quite close enough to see, but I would suppose so. I was in a hurry to get to Lichtenstein. I heard that the Hell's Angels kept there corporate headquarters there :-)

There's this song about being in a rock n' roll band and then there's EVERYTHING else.

I performed this karoake-style at a corporate sales function with 4 friends and unplugged instruments at a club in SoCal and had so much fucking fun we got carried away and broke the instruments!

The place went crazy, they didn't even charge us for the instruments!! Sometimes I miss 1989, then again...

Breaking the instruments was a thing there for a while. You were just keeping up a tradition :-)

Excellent photography. Honestly speaking all the clicks just amazing i loving it 🙂
Its a fabulous photography ever i seen.
Please keep continue to your clicks..

Thanks!

Its my pleasure 😊

I hope you'll keep continue to share with us those type of amazing photography 📸

They're naturally anazing, sometimes the simpleness of something makes it extraordinary and wonderful, I applaud you for the photos and oh the sound track? You can't just imagine, I love it

I agree. It is my simpleness that makes me extraordinary and wonderful :-)

Yes sir, I guess you've got even more splendid pictures like these

O yes I know you're @onceuponatime. Outstanding background indeed greatest photo shots taken like as a professional photographer. Have a nice day.

I'm so happy that at least you know that I am @onceuponatime! Sometimes when I look in a mirror all that I see is @twiceuponatime :-)

Omg..You seems both upon a time... :)

@onceuponatime, I know who are you. You don't know who am I. :) :)
You're the besty photographer in steem blockchain. You have own style of writing and taken captures. Pretty stunning castle image clicks various degrees. Deserving place to travel in Greece.

The important thing is: Do you know who you are?

Yep...I know me who am I.

Good! You are half way home!

Gutenberg Castle ... steals the show in Balzers!

You are a knowledgeable man!

Thanks - but I am a woman. I guess my pic doesn't do me justice...
Anyway, I hope you were you able to make a stop and visit this castle - did you see the bronze horse in the inner courtyard?

I like women!

No, I didn't stop. I was on a whirlwind tour from Ticino. Had to get back the same day.

You made me laugh ... I can now sleep better knowing this particular detail.
Love your wit & intelligence.
Keep well!

Ouzo & Octopus & Out

That's one of my favourites when you write a story together with pictures.
Great photos :d

Merci beaucoup!

Where is this one @onceuponatime? it reminds me of Bran Castle (aka Dracula's Castle from Bran, Romania

Haha, the song fits here quite nicely! I really like the view. Pictures from a fairy tale :P

Once upon a time...............................

Hello @onceuponatime
I really do love these view
It reminds me of the movie "Melin"

Nice. "Melin"

It is really beautiful and your name is nicely combined with the castle XD, everything starts there haha! Nice soundtrack! Also where is this place?

Read above comments for clues.

Thanks, I found it below XD, Switzerland, lovely! Those countries there Switzerland, Germany, Austria have magnificent castles, like in the fairytales!

Were there any panther guards? :P

Cougars. Cougars everywhere :-)

Cou-guards I think :P

Yes. Praetorian Cou-guards.

I do love it too, especially the houses on the mountain. Nice captures

Thank you. It was fun taking those shots. I had more, but didn't include them.

Where is this? It's gorgeous, and makes me want to go.. reminds me of some things in both Austria and Italy, actually.

Edit: didn't listen to the song until after - just commenting on the pictures :)

It is in Switzerland, approaching Lichtenstein.

Didn't make it there when I lived overseas. Gorgeous spot - would love to go.

I wonder how is it possible for someone not to like it...
The landscape is amazing,so is (the castle?-fortress?)
I loved it actually.Hope you had great time

A great time was had by all :-)

That is all that matters eventually!

Sometimes even right away :-)

I have been in UK and they have plenty of this architecture.
Also where I come from in Italy, there are great example of medieval constructions. Especially in Ravenna and San Marino area.
Cheers for sharing!

Italy is definitely on my bucket list :-)

I don't believe you, @onceuponatime.
I am sure it was the biggest, fanciest, prettiest, most fairy-tale like , once upon a time. And you loved it. This is why you are writing about it :) :) .

The photos are beautiful. I love this castle and this hamlet. Like a dream :)

Well then, if I do one of those "10 truths and a lie" posts, your guess is already prepared :-)

:D :D ... Most definitely . ;) :) .
Their are no lies. Just Veiled Truths. 😎🙂

The ORIGINAL 100% REAL NO FAKE castle of @ONCEUPONATIME !!!!

(Cheers like a college girl looking at a beautiful K-Pop band)

I want to be in a K-Pop band :-)

@ONCEUPONATIME in a K-Pop band, far, far away...

Now you are just trolling me with perfection.

In Romania we have a similar castle called Bran Castle. I also like the soundtrack you chose. I hope you enjoy your time spend there. Cheers
