RE: Bled Castle and Church / Bleder Burg und Kirche
Awesome shots of both the church and the castle , is it surrounded all around by those rock walls, why I ask is I am trying to imagine the effort and work it took to get all the supplies and workers up there to build that castle, no helicopters to ferry stuff in back then
Thank you so much JJ :)
The rocks are only on this side where the lake is, which you can see on the photos, but the castle is built on a hill, and can be accessed easier from the opposite side.
But even, if it was easier to get up this hill to build the castle, the work they have done in these times is amazing.
Today a few trucks would deliver the machine-made bricks and with a crane they would build the castle in short time, but would it still stand in 100 years? I don't think so LOL

Thanks for the link to google earth it was cool to see
The work ethos in those days is sure different from now
Things were build to last seems no one or no company wants thing to last long they want things wearing down and breaking so they can sell you the new improved version
This is, why our highways are always under construction somewhere. When they have finished repairing the road to its end, they start from the beginning ;)
And it is exactly the same here drive on any highway and repairs wil always be going on Somewhere, if they did a enter job the first time they would not need repair so often
I think, apart from a different language and landscape, people and companies are everywhere pretty much the same.
