Black-and-white view of the ruins of Falkenstein Castle (1,277 m) near Pfronten in the Bavarian Allgäu Alps — the crumbling stone keep perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop, with a steep wooden staircase ascending the hillside, pine trees clinging to the slopes, and the distant Alpine peaks visible behind. A small wayside chapel or shelter is visible at lower left. The reverse carries an unusually long handwritten message in English from an American tourist writing from Germany to Pennsylvania.
