Great job Neil. Excellent detail and colour in the stonework and a super sky! I like the figures in the archway, they give a great sense of scale.

Thanks a lot, Keith. I don't think is would have been so effective on a sunny day. However, I hope to revisit on such a day to see what shadows I can find. The possibilities are endless.

Yes and no for me, Maurice. As it is, it is exceptionally photogenic, from all four sides plus the corners as well.

Considering it burned down over two centuries ago it's in amazingly good state still. Well taken with great detail in the building and in the clouds!

Thank you, Gudrun. Whilst taking this I imagined Rapunzel tossing her tresses out of a similar tower. Maybe one of the Tudor ladies did likewise here ;-)

Even as a ruin it is beautful; well captured shot!

Polyrus has replied to Valfal club
Many thanks, Val. As a ruin it provides so many different photo opportunities and probably more so than if it was still intact.

Amazing building, we don't see this in Canada. I miss that!
Awesome!

Thank you, Gary. For our sins, many of us envy the sights in other countries. I for one wish The Rockies were within driving distance from me ;-)
