Beautiful.................

[xyCuriosityxy]

Glad you enjoyed :-) Thank you very much!

[jeyrod1]

ok at 6:55 where is that?! I've been dying to find that out for years since I saw it on tv!

[xyCuriosityxy]

@jeyrod1

This place is the so called "Venus Grotto", a side building at "Linderhof Palace". When you are opening the "more info" on the right side you can read more about the three castles in this video :-)

[wskong]

The piano part is also part of the song "swan lake"? I love the piano part. It is touched

[xyCuriosityxy]

@wskong

Yes, it's a piano interpretation of "swan lake", and a very beautiful and touching one:-) Thank you for watching and listening.

[WatkinsAle]

Thank you so much for a birthday present!

I have loved his dream kingdom since watched Luchino Visconti's film "Ludwig".

The sound of a melody which was composed by Wagner remain in my memory still now, really and vividly.

The music is Tchaikovsky...did he knew König like his brother?... Anyway the music is so good!!!

Also, superfluently, June 20 is also my birthday. That's why, again Thank you so much your great birthday gift!

[xyCuriosityxy]

Happy Birthday to you as well and my best wishes! :) You are very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the music by Tchaikovsky too and the video. I don't know whether he knew King Ludwig. It is known that he visited one of Wagner's operas in Bayreuth, Germany. This opera house was also built by King Ludwig II.

Once more, I'm happy you had a special moment as well on your Birthday!! :)

[BocaFriend]

Happy Birthday, Sadanori! Though the time difference makes this a belated wish, it is nevertheless sincere. ~Terry in South Florida

A arte me sensibiliza "beleza ,luxo e patrimonio mas hoje eu digo mata-va a fome a milhares de pessoas mas quem sou eu não é verdade ? mas é uma bonita homenagem um bjs

[xyCuriosityxy]

Você tem razão sobre a fome está matando tantos hoje, mas ele está na mão de everybody para contribuir em direção a um melhor mundo. Portanto podemos contribuir e gostar da beleza da arte ao mesmo tempo.

Espero que isto seja compreensível, tive de usar o meu programa de tradução :)

Thank you!!

Oh my, what a beautiful journey!

What I was able to see in this video is all amazing!

I so wish that I could be there and see all of this in person but this video is really the best thing and I am so happy to have the opportunity to see the magical beauty of the homes and castles presented here while I am so far away!

Thank you so much for sharing and for dedicating this video to Don, a special and caring man that is making a difference in our world!

Hugs,

Angela

[xyCuriosityxy]

Angela, What a pleasure to meet you here, I've already saw your post on the journal! :) Germany truly does have many amazing places and landscapes. I'm happy, I was able to show a little of its Beauty!

A splendid video for a special friend, but he is so modest and he didn't want to accept this, that he is special!!!

Happy birthday dear Don!!!!

Don

[xyCuriosityxy]

Dear Don, Welcome to the club of those who just made the same experiences as you do today! This was happening to Terry and shortly before her birthday, this was happening to me :) I wrote almost the exact words while the tears were running and running :)) This is what love is all about and these moments make life so spectacular and beautiful:)

Love, Helga

[BocaFriend]

Yes, Helga, you and Don and myself squirmed to be in the spotlight, and yet look how the composer Kostia was drawn to your birthday video from Truus and this subsequently resulted in "Farewell" -- a new life in a 15-year-old beautiful tune. With more to follow I hope. My spotlight stirred things also. :-) And now because of your work for Don, I'm sure many of us will be aware of UNESCO issues, (Not

to mention a spike in German tourism thanks to you)

With much love, ~Terry

[xyCuriosityxy]

Thank you so much for your wonderful and much appreciated comment Perla!!

Many thanks to Sara for the share, she is a precious friend :)

[elczanka]

Don, my friend. Birthday, Your !!!!!!!! Don, happiness, beauty and joy to every moment of your life. Oh, of course, always love and friendship. With all my heart for you. In Poland, sing on your birthday, 100 years, 100 years, 100 years in the health and happiness. Kisses. Thank you for sending a beautiful video. Your friend always.

Today I am experiencing both the most humbling nightmare and such wonderful sentiments.

Thank you sandrinette!

[BocaFriend]

Helga!! I'm ecstatic to find the video quality so fine this morning! I was so distressed to view it shortly after upload, and the clarity was not good! And I thought the beautiful detail was just too much for YT to handle! Ahh. Now I know that I was sampling the fare too soon from the oven! Today the quality is commensurate with the content and the flavor is sublime!! I say this publically as maybe a lesson to check back on a video of dubious quality in future -- YT can catch up! love, ~T

[xyCuriosityxy]

:-))) Terry! Jaja, something obviously Gemini's do have in common, they just can't be patient because they are too curious :-))) It took very long till YT had processed this vid last night, including uploading 3 1/2 hours :-))) I'm really glad, that you had another look at it today, the quality is much better now, as far as I can see. Having a very bad internet connection doesn't allow me to watch my vids in HD :-)) So I'm not able to judge on the uploaded quality, I rely on your input. Love, H

[BocaFriend]

I'm so sorry that you can't see (and hear) your work in HQ because it does take it to a new dimension especially when played FULL-SCREEN. But once in a while if my DSL seems a bit slow, I watch regular and it's still gorgeous. So long as it's full-screen to get the best immersion into my 15 inch laptop. As to having another look at your video -- doch sichen! -- I never stop at one viewing even if it's perfect on the first go round :-) God bless you

for enduring 3 1/2 hr labor pains for Don! ~T

[xyCuriosityxy]

I'm very grateful for your feedback dearest Terry! You are simply wonderful!!! :-)

I'm already blessed because of your true friendship!!! With my Love to you, Helga

[UNESCO123]

Thank you Terry - you sentiments are appreciated and more than I deserve.

Don

[BocaFriend]

Dear Don, having myself this week been the beneficiary of our friends' over-the-top generosity, I can relate to your feelings! However, the grace to be the catalyst for creativity is something which in turn benefits all of us who are in community with one another. (And seeing your Channel now through the eyes of a friend, I see why Helga deemed you worthy of her efforts!) Wishing you all the best and happy to now be in your circle as well. This is the 'party favor' guests carry away! hugs, ~T

[UNESCO123]

Thank you

I will accept graciously what you say without further comment.

Don

[UNESCO123]

Dear Helga,

Thank you. I am embarrassed.

I am not worthy of such an accolade - being human I make mistakes and stray far from the perfectness of this video.

Maybe in the year ahead this video will give me something to aim for.

Love

Don

[xyCuriosityxy]

Dear Don, Making mistakes is something all humans have in common, you are for sure not alone :) I hope with all of my heart that you never succeed in being perfect functioning, because this would mean that your heart wouldn't be involved anymore, machines don't have any heart at all. And, I don't send hugs and kisses to machines :))

Thank you so much for your great compliment for the vid!

With love, hugs and kisses

Helga :)

[Sensuela14]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DON !!!!!!

Thanks so much HELGA:) Your Suprise - VIDEO for DON it's great!!

First of course Happy Birthday Don and may all of your dreams comes true!

My sweetest and dearest Helga, what a Journey!! When I saw all of this beautiful castles my first thought was, why don't they build this anymore. The grace and beauty is beyond everything. And the marriage with Tchaikovsky is outstanding!

Thank you for this journey!

With huge warm bugs, many kisses and all of my love to you Sweetheart!!

[UNESCO123]

Thank you - your sentiments are more than I deserve.

Don

[xyCuriosityxy]

My dearest and sweetest Truus, Thank you for your heart felt wishes for Don!

I know, everything you write/say is coming straight from your heart! Thank you for your outstanding words for me and my vid my Sweetheart!!

I'm afraid nobody could afford to built such Beauty in our days, and in addition, people's attitude changed quite a bit since those days, unfortunately. But the more grateful we are for all others we know of! :-)

With huge warm hugs, lots of kisses and all of my love to you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DON! Congratulations on the good fortune of having yet ducked under the Gemini canopy, and also the blessing of having the talented and tender-hearted Helga as a devoted friend.

Dearest Teutonic Tour Guide, thank you for the sumptuous, scrumptious tour! In America we wait for the New Year's Concert from Vienna to enjoy such splendor! This goes on my travelogue playlist! You did a work of such beauty, incl the breathtaking Swan ballet. May I ask the solo pianist?Love, ~Terry

[xyCuriosityxy]

Dearest Terry, The pleasure is all mine to be your "TTG" :-)) (With a view to sweet Truus, this will for sure beat the "TTH" :-))) )

My heart felt thanks to you for your most delightful words and wonderful support my dear, also for your heartwarming wishes for Don!

Love, Helga

[BocaFriend]

Ahhhh, good thinking! TTG should meet with Truus's

approval. (We don't need to tell her that Teutonic can be swapped out for 'Tantalizing' whenever the videos go into sultry mode!) Hah! Meanwhile, she's busy wondering why there's a dearth of Colosseum construction and why Pyramids are quite passe' !!

I'm going to need a construction helmet, pith helmet,

and Prussian spiked helmet to protect me if she ever reads that! : ) love, ~T -- living on the edge

[christel2846]

WOW what a stunning piece of art.The pictures the music just perfect together.Tchaikovsky has always been my favorite classical composer.1000 stars.Love Christel
