喜歡旅游﹐喜歡照相﹐可是缺錢少閑﹐哪裡也去不了﹐只能每天悶頭幹活掙柴米錢。
好在有一群好朋友﹐知我窘迫﹐經常發來一些好照片﹐了我心願。有了好事憋不住
樂﹐拿出來與大家同享。你若不差錢﹐有閑空﹐能夠滿世界游逛﹐這些照片不看也
罷﹐實地觀賞印象更深刻。你若與我一樣﹐有心無力﹐不妨一起神游一趟﹐沒吃過
豬肉至少還見過豬跑﹐也不枉人世走一遭。這幾句話得貼在每貼的頂上﹐以免有人
誤以為這些照片是我拍的﹐豈不愧死我也。

城堡是歐洲的一個特色。
風格迥異的城堡星羅其布地分佈在歐洲各地。
歐洲城堡的起源要追朔到中世紀。當時歐洲各國國王都有一群支持他的騎士﹐國王
依靠騎士看家護院﹐擴展疆土。但是國王也不富裕﹐養不起這麼一大幫閑人﹐就把
自己的國土分封給騎士們﹐讓他們自稚�路﹐到打仗時再召集在一起。騎士們為了
保護自己的利益﹐就在分給自己的世襲領地裡建起兼具生活和防禦的堡壘。從而給
我們留下了這些因風俗﹐環境而各不相同的城堡。

The Château de Chaumont is a French castle. It was the first château at Chaumont-sur-Loire, Loir-et-Cher, France. It was built by Eudes II, Count of Blois, in the 10th century with the purpose of serving as a fortress to protect Blois from attacks.

The Château de Chenonceau is a castle near the small village of Chenonceaux, in the Indre-et-Loire département of the Loire Valley in France. It was built on the site of an old mill on the River Cher, sometime before its first mention in writing in the 11th century. The current manor was designed by the French Renaissance architect Philibert Delorme.

The Castle of the La Mota or Castillo de La Mota is a reconstructed medieval fortress, located in the town of Medina del Campo, (Valladolid, Spain). It is so named because of its location on an elevated hill, a mota, from where it dominates the town and surrounding land. The adjacent town came to be surrounded by an expanding series of walls in subsequent years, of which little remains. La Mota is made from local red brick, utlilizing stone only for some details. It has been protected by the state as a site of cultural interest, or Bien de Interés Cultural since 1904.The castle itself was reconstructed in the twentieth century. Reconstruction was mainly pursued by the Falange government of Francisco Franco, who had a nostalgia for structures having links to the Catholic Kings.

The château of Azay-le-Rideau was built from 1515 to 1527, one of the earliest French Renaissance castles. Built on an island in the Indre River, its foundations rise straight out of the water.

The royal Château at Amboise is a château located in Amboise, in the Indre-et-Loire département of the Loire Valley in France, Built on a promontory overlooking the Loire River to control a strategic ford that was replaced in the Middle Ages by a bridge, the château began its life in the eleventh century, when the notorious Fulk Nerra, Count of Anjou, rebuilt the stronghold in stone.

Cheverny is a commune in the Loir-et-Cher département in central France.It lies in the Loire Valley, about 10km (6.2mi) southeast of Blois.

Castle Jemeppe is a castle in Belgium.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel is a rocky tidal island and a commune in Normandy, France. It is located approximately one kilometre off the country's north coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches. The population of the island is 50.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel was previously connected to the mainland via a thin natural land bridge, which before modernization was covered at high tide and revealed at low tide. This has been compromised by several developments. Over the centuries, the coastal flats have been polderised to create pasture. Thus the distance between the shore and the south coast of Mont-Saint-Michel has decreased. The Couesnon River has been canalised, reducing the flow of water and thereby encouraging a silting-up of the bay. In 1879, the land bridge was fortified into a true causeway. This prevented the tide from scouring the silt round the mount.

Mont-Saint-Michel was used in the sixth and seventh centuries as an Armorican stronghold of Romano-Breton culture and power, until it was ransacked by the Franks, thus ending the trans-channel culture that had stood since the departure of the Romans in AD 460.
