1. Swallow's Nest Castle, Ukraine
Via castle
Pictures of snow and castles are always a favorite. This one is on Ukraine's Black Sea Coast, overlooking the spa town of Gaspra.
The Swallow's Nest Castle seems to emerge from a fairy tale, especially when its turrets and battlements are dusted with a delicate layer of snow. Perched atop the 40-meter high Aurora Cliff, visitors get panoramic views that are absolutely breathtaking in winter, enhancing the romance of the site. It's the perfect backdrop for those whimsical moments, captured in photos that whisper the history of the Crimean coastline. Whether blanketed in white or just caught in the pale winter sun, this architectural gem presents the magic of the season like no other.
