beautiful! really friko - the imaginings i could have just watching the light play across those walls. when i was a little boy i visited a place called beeston castle. it has remained imprinted in my mind as a place of deep history. steven
Beautiful contrast of light and darkness. While the sky still remains faintly bright and orange, the darkness is fallen on the castle and the ground. I guess wind is blowing and clouds are moving.
One of the things that is so fascinating about the countryside in the UK is that you live amongst these ruins. They are normal to you. It's as if history is relentlessly looking over your shoulder, which is not a bad thing. Beautiful and sobering.
I would love to visit Europe with my camera. My world is younger, but so very vast here in the Americas. Have you checked out the 100 shots I have posted on my blog with added twitku? I sort of borrowed the notion from you, and it is joyful for me.
A dramatic shot – a bit creepy too, what?
ReplyDeletehow very wonderful !
ReplyDeletemakes me wonder what ghosts are lurking nearby...!
ReplyDeleteI like buildings made to last. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo, Friko. I love that dramatic effect.

ReplyDeleteA little bit haunting, but oh, the dreams I could conjure with that to look at before sleep!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if Heathcliffe were brooding in those shadows.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful.

ReplyDeleteNow that's a unique view! When you say 'castle' you are not joking. Is it haunted?
ReplyDelete:-) Ahhhhhh.....
ReplyDeleteRight out of my all time favorite childhood (and adulthood!) novel - Jane Eyre...
ReplyDeleteHello:
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully dramatic image.
Very Gothic (in the traditional sense) and darkly romantic.
ReplyDeleteda fühlt man sich ja wirklich wie im Märchen! Geheimnisvoll und einfach schön!
ReplyDeleteDir einen friedlichen guten Tag!

ReplyDeleteI’d like to keep up with you, too. Thank you.
Great picture!
ReplyDeleteIncredibly atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteDo you hear a faint rattle of chains on windy nights ?
ReplyDeleteyour view is not short of drama. did a storm follow?
ReplyDeleteWhat an imposing image -- very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteSo great to meet you Friko and look forward to getting to know you. :)
Damn, I wish I had a castle.
ReplyDeleteYour very own castle - you are so lucky. (Hope it's not haunted - or if it is, the ghosts are benign)
ReplyDeleteperfect for stories.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely more dramatic than the cow barn beyond MY hedge.

ReplyDeletelovely peek over the hedge!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, scary. I'm hoping the neighbours aren't too noisy? But I'm sure in daylight this is a fabulous view.
ReplyDeleteA beauty of a shot.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that, in our long acquaintanceship, you've never invited me to move in with you.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!
