If you are visiting this site and came to this page from outside my 3D Photography web page- welcome!  I've added this page to my site to show you the best of the topic of Castles, and to explain to non-3D oriented visitors how this gallery of images works.  Below are links to some of my best photographs of Castles, in 2D.  Below that are links to the 3D galleries, and also links to the rest of my 3D site explaining how to view them.  Enjoy! If you like, selected high quality photographs from this site are available in the store- click on the store to the right.  All pictures that are for sale or are part of a picture set, will soon be noted as such and contain a link back to the store as well.

I have been a lucky person in that I have been able to travel a lot for my job for most of my adult life.  I have worked for Texas Instruments, which enabled travel all over the United States, and at one point, sent me to live in Germany for six months.  Many of the continental European shots were taken during that 1992-1993 time.  I vacationed in the UK in 1990, and there are also many shots from there in these galleries as well.  And, finally, I've been working for Nokia since 1997.  They send me to Finland on a very regular basis.  I have canvassed most of Northern Europe since then.  And, with the frequent flier miles earned, I have been able to travel south and west of the US as well.

Below are a collection of my best castle and fortress shots, grouped by country or region.  This is to give you a two-dimensional overview of the places I have traveled to.  Below that, is a simple map showing the collections of three-dimensional castle photos that I have taken.  On the left, you can take a shortcut to those galleries.  In addition, there are other links that will take you to my main 3D web site, www.3dphoto.net, and there you can find instructions on how to view them (or click on How to View on the left).

England The Tower of London is an ancient fortress that started out small, and was added to repeatedly over the millennia. ©1990	Ireland Nothing beats driving around the Irish countryside, except more driving around the Irish countryside.  Less populated than England, you get more of a medieval feeling here. ©2000
Scotland Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe not too far from Glasgow is one of the premiere ruins in Scotland. ©1990	Wales Harlech Castle in Wales is in a stunning location- on a cliff overlooking the Irish Sea.  And, you can stay in a B&B right next to it. ©1990
Germany Part 1 and Part 2 Never had I seen so many castles is so short of a distance than along the Rhine River.  Part 1 is northern and eastern Germany, and Part 2 is Bavaria. (Click on left half of image for Part 1 & right half for Part 2.) ©1993	Finland Nobody ever seems to know much about Finland.  So would you be surprised that they have a gem like this? ©2000
Denmark Denmark is full of castles, churches, and a history that is not emphasized enough in some texts.  I've only scratched the surface here, with a few Castles on Zealand and one on Funen. ©1993	Other Places Carcassonne, in France, is a stunning castle, complete with double wall.  Also includes pictures from Switzerland, San Marino, Italy, Poland,  Estonia, Austria, Slovakia, and even the Bahamas. ©1993

Below is a map of Europe.  Click on the region of the island or the text labels below it to see a particular group of photos.  If you are not sure what 3D Photography is all about, then I recommend you visit my 3D Photography site for more information.  If you need instructions on how to view them, please visit my Viewing Guide for instructions.  This site primarily uses the Cross-Eyed method for viewing.  In the future, I will be adding anaglyph images (red/blue glasses) as well to some of the better images, such as those seen above.  See my Glossary for a definition of terms.

This site supports the JPS, or JPEG Stereo, image standard.  If your browser has Java enabled (check your preferences), then you should not have a problem viewing them.  The better images are in this format (25-30%), and they are higher resolution, so will take longer to load.  However, you also have a large choice of viewing preferences, including anaglyph, cross-eyed, parallel, and LCD shutter glasses.  The viewing applet is provided for free by Andreas Petersik.  All images on this site that are in this format have a yellow border around them to warn you of the slightly longer download times associated with the larger file format.
