It is with a dose of imagination and a sprinkle of fantasy which brought upon the creation of Neuschwanstein, Ludwig II’s fairy tale castle. Without dreams and fantasies, we are but puppet dolls warped into the passage of time. Despite Ludwig retreated into his own fantasy world to shelter from the harsh realities of life, perhaps it is this faint bit of childishness that attracts so many people to the castle. It is the fantasies of Ludwig rather than the architecture of the castle which amaze me. Although the twists and turns of life always throws us back into reality, and a little bit of innocence is lost along the way, I try to preserve the child mindset as much as possible; because this is what makes my world colorful. I do hope, the ups, downs, bumps and detours along my life will not discolour my neuschwanstein, the fairy tale castle in my heart.
