Challenge 5: Castle
Mrs. OSINT is off exploring again, and this time she’s wandered into a real-life fairytale. She snapped this photo while making her way up a narrow path, surrounded by misty trees and mountain air. There’s a castle just ahead — but it’s not quite the view you’ll see on a postcard.
