Crooked Sheds and Fairy Tales

You may think this is simply just a semi-derelict building carved all crookedy into the hillside and surrounded by the lovely colours of fall in Marburg. But you are wrong. Observe:


I see magic. This charming little shed makes me think fairy tale. Like Grandmother's house in Little Red Riding Hood. Or maybe the Gingerbread House in Hansel and Gretel. I can just see a wolf lurking around the corner or a wicked witch waiting to toss two helpless children into her boiling cauldron. I could even see it as the little cottage in the woods were Sleeping Beauty hides as her Fairy Godmothers try to keep her safe. *sigh*

And the best part was that it was on the ass end of a castle. How much more fairy tale can you get?

castles are too drafty for real fairy tales, so i guess it would make sense that the fairy tales would happen in the building only vaguely attached to the castle- at least it has the potential to be warm (b/c its so little and all)
