YOU have a Harburg in your area?
Wow, didn't know there were two of them (or more than that even?)
The Harburg near me is not overly photogenic, though (even though I did take photos of said Harburg years ago...).

Nice framework and view, but it doesn't overlook much. You could try a shot from the left with the river leading away or a night shot, if possible.

Yes, it's a few kilometers north of Donauwörth, and about three quarters of an hour's drive from where we live. This was my first visit and unfortunately it wasn't possible to walk down to the town in order to get a nice shot of the castle (daughter too tired) or to pull over on the way home to do the same (roadworks); but next time I'm determined to get a shot looking up at the castle, which is a very impressive structure.

I know what you mean and it was the reflection in the water that attracted me to this shot, but next time we go back I'll try to see what else could be done here. The trouble is that you can only go around inside the castle on a guided tour and this is towards the end of the tour and the guide was hurrying us along a little by this point.
