The Linderhof Palace, located in Ettal, Bavaria, Germany, was constructed in different phases between 1870 and 1886. It is one of the three palaces built by order of King Ludwig II of Bavaria (1845-1886) (together with Neuschwanstein and Herrenchiemsee), and the only one finished before his death.
By "dull" I mean boring, uninteresting rather than poor light. The trees are bare. And the little sheds on each side of the building are disturbing and not present in other photos. The angle and point-of-view is the main problem -- only the front façade is visible and there's no context, whereas this building is set in dramatic context and has an interesting roof. Choosing a good viewpoint for the subject is part of what makes a winning picture. -- Colin (talk) 12:05, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
