Amelia's photos

Today's Saturday Challenge: Frame within a Frame in Black and White.

On the top of the hill to the right of the photo is Castell Dinas Brân, a medieval castle occupying a prominent hilltop site above the town of Llangollen in Denbighshire, Wales. The presently visible castle was probably built in the 1260s by Gruffydd Maelor II, a Prince of Powys. It's a lovely walk up there in good weather. The river in the foreground is the River Dee which has its source in the mountains of Snowdonia in Meirionydd, Gwynedd, Wales. The river eventually turns north and meanders up to Chester. From there the waters of the Dee then converge with those of the River Mersey and Ribble.

Oxburgh Hall is a moated country house in Oxborough, Norfolk, England, today in the hands of the National Trust. Built around 1482 by Sir Edmund Bedingfeld, Oxburgh has always been a family home, not a fortress. The manor of Oxborough came to the Bedingfeld family by marriage before 1446, and the house has been continuously inhabited by them since their construction of it in 1482.
