Sure enough john Laurence Jensen who arrived 1881 and a few years later proclaimed Jensen was the Pineapple Capitol of the World, harvesting over a million boxes of the fruit.

@panzade,

Where is that castle? Germany, Switzerland or Spain? Can the public go there?

@trying2learn,

Yes, I have been there.
It's the Alcazar Castle in Segovia Spain.

@vonny,

vonny, This reminds me that Norway is one of the most spectacular and dramatically beautiful countries I've ever been to. My camera went off by accident, and I got a good picture. Gawgeous shot, kid.
