Dang Bill, you killed the game.
I think we need a clue.
I also think with the game slowing down, I think someone need to go all out. I think someone should do one like
this but Songfight styled. Who is up to the task?

Hmm, well, there's a pun involved... what kind of clue is good?
Other people can feel free to post more pics to get the game going again... no need to have only one active at a time!

How about a clue that actually helps someone figure out the answer? That might be good.

@Bill. 15/16 puzzle? You snagged the pic from a puzzle site, so I figured, eh what the "H".
Ok, the things I put together from Bill's literalism pic. Maybe someone can use them to help themselves. Also, if others do the same, we can conquer this as a team.
1. It is a picture of the famous Neuschwanstein, in Hohenschwangau, Bavaria, Germany.
2. The word Neuschwanstein means "new swan stone" or "again swan stone"
3. He got the picture from
The Puzzle House.
4.
Wikipedia says a lot of stuff about it.
5. It was the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's Castle
6. We had a huge lithograph of this picture on our living room wall when I was growing up. My Mother, (German) loves castles and this one in particular. Now that I think about it, it was a tapestry type reproduction.
I'm sure I had more, can't remember at the moment.

I took a bunch of pictures of it when we went to Germany but it was the wrong season since our wedding was in April, so I had to find a picture online.

Niveous?
The definition of "niveous" is, in fact, "resembling snow."

Correct! This one required a bit of knowledge of the word 'keep' meaning the central tower or building of a castle.
Sorry if it was too tough

Good work, JimT!

Shoot! I must have read about the unfinished keep 20 times and it never occurred to me that you were being SO literal. Very good, Bill. Quite the stump master.
A massive keep was planned for the middle of the upper court yard and was never built at the decision of the Kings remaining family. The foundation for the keep can still be seen in the upper courtyard today.
