Thus, you will find the numerous, in most instances reconstructed, Japanese castles built on a hill or on a plain ground surrounded by a moat in the photo gallery Japan. The Indian palaces, forts and castles, partly still inhabited by a Maharajah, are summarized in the photo gallery India.
This gallery contains and shows photos from the castle Linderhof close to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria inside the Alpes; a teeny-weeny section of impressions of the New Castle, Castle Lustheim on the other side of the channel and the park in between in Oberschleissheim northbound of Munich. The background picture is a sight view of the new castle seen from the castles garden. Furthermore there are pictures from the Old and New Castle plus Upper Grot and Great Pool of the Eremitage in Bayreuth (North Bavaria); photos of the Residence in Würzburg and its court garden with the rose trees (Lower Franconia, Western Bavaria). A side trip to the German Versailles isn’t missing, the Castle resort of Schwetzingen close to Heidelberg and Mannheim with its baroque garden.

If your operating system doesn’t build the photo gallery, but instead displays a warning that restricts the display of active content, allow the blocked risk. The navigation, the selection menus of the photo gallery as well as the control of the gallery pages are completely written in javascript, which triggers the browser to display this warning. Furthermore, since version 3.0 the entire screen is designed in container technology with a maximum of 5 areas, which are set visible or kept hidden depending on the screen width. Same width also determines how many shots can be shown in a row and automatically adjusts to it when you refresh the screen, similar to your Windows Explorer. Due to the variable structure of the gallery, unfortunately, no headings can be given any longer, which area will be displayed next. The photo gallery itself as one on the 5 subsections is displayed with dynpro subscreen technology, means in the screen encircled container 2 other containers are connected in the top left position. One of these sub-container shows as transparent background image the castle in Oberschleissheim; the other container contains the text. The wallpaper in the background is fixed with 100% x-axis and 100% y-axis and 2400 pixels, the text container calculates its depth itself. Depending to your screen configuration, one container is displayed deeper than the other, so there it at the bottom an overpowering beyond the edge of one of the containers. In normal cases the wallpaper should finish deeper than the text.

The pictures of the photo gallery are extremely compressed to 165 * 110 pixels, thus very fuzzy, but this is the intention. By clicking the frame you will get the actual size with an image resolution of 2250 * 1500 pixels and the detailed data to the picture. You can click the graphics right away, the second screen will open, but it may be that your Internet browser will load all the photos in the gallery before the single photo is activated in the zoom. Also note that your computer may issue a warning about active elements in the background. Without activation and during charging, the zoom screen remains black, which is not a program error, it is just the background color. Please be patient. How the photo description is structured and which possibilities you have in operating the system, is shortly summarized in the guidance to the photo.
