Bellissima fortezza che al giorno d'oggi simboleggia tenacia e potenza, secoli fa era invece la temuta dimora di un opulento ed oppressore principe, la leggenda narra che in quei tempi, la popolazione dei paesi vicini, stanca delle continue ingiustizie perpetrate dal sovrano, decise di toglierselo dai piedi, così una sera mentre il castellano era in visita nella limitrofa Anaunia (oggi Val di Non) scavò sulla via del ritorno una profonda buca con il fondo irto di paletti appuntiti, cosicchè l'odiato tiranno mentre al galoppo tornava nella sua oscura dimora vi precipitò, e così la gente così a lungo maltrattata e umiliata, dai bordi della voragine lo maledì e con sassi e terra lo seppellì vivo. Ancora oggi - narra la leggenda- il corpo del vassallo è sepolto sotto la strada che porta ad Ossana, ed ancor oggi il maniero con la su possente torre sovrasta il paese e tutta la valle. Ognuno può interpretare a suo modo il messaggio che queste vecchie e robuste mura vogliono trasmettere, comunque lo spettacolo che questo rudere ci offre al giorno d'oggi è meraviglioso e rende l'atmosfera - soprattutto invernale - magica, anche grazie alle mille leggende che si raccontano su di lui e su chi lo abitò, alcune vere, alcune meno. Sono un appassionato del fantasy, ecco perchè ho cercato di mantenere anche la parte destra della fotografia per enfatizzare il titolo "Come the wizards!" (arrivano i maghi). Il bagliore dei lampioni nascosti dietro agli abeti hanno creato quell'alone verde - in netto contrasto con la luce calda del castello - e immaginando un'atmosfera fantasy e viaggiano con la fantasia (scusate il gioco di parole) volevo rendere l'idea che degli stregoni e i loro incantesimi stessero attaccando il maniero, ecco perchè la parte destra (grazie al supporto del titolo) è quasi più protagonista del castello stesso e crea un non so chè di misterioso. Buona visione amici miei! #Neve

Have you been able to transform a fortress, a tool of war, in a beautiful dream. Bravissimo.

Beautiful image, evocative and mysterious. The composition I do not mind but I find it a bit 'unbalanced, I was expecting something on the right. I would try a crop of the fortress as a central element.

Congratulations to the light captured. Mark

Thanks to all my friends!

For Mark, thanks to you and the passage of the comment, but I would argue the composition to make you understand why my choice. I'm a fan of fantasy, which is why I tried to keep even the right of the photograph to emphasize the title "How the wizards!" (Arrive wizards). The glow of the street lamps hidden behind the pine trees have created green halo - in stark contrast to the warm light of the castle - and imagining a fantasy atmosphere and travel with the imagination (excuse the pun) I wanted to convey the idea that the witches and their spells were attacking the castle, which is why the right side (thanks to the support of the title) is almost protagonist of the castle itself.

Maybe I ventured into a geograpion difficult to understand on the fly, that's why I gave her a title a little out of my royalties.
