Thank you very much for the

It was certainly wet and windy that day, and the wind had a chill edge to it too. Luckily there was an open fire in the restaurant to sit next to and have tea and cakes afterwards

Cheers very much for the I could have quite easily continued sitting by the open fire, eating a second slice of the cake - it was delicious and I could hear the wind howling in the chimney and the rain battering on the shutters.

All it needs is a fork of lightning. The perfect setting for Hamlet's father's ghost, an Arthurian battle or a Gothic horror!

Bogbrush In reply to somnomollior [2008-11-13 19:17:45 +0000 UTC]

Aye, I can just imagine a ghost walking the ramparts

Sadly, the lightning was rather lacking that day, although I might not have taken the phot if it was around, I was quite high up and exposed taking this...

I'm a bit nervous about heights, or rather not so much heights but drops - and here I was standing at the top of a rather steep set of steps in a gusty wind

Bogbrush In reply to RedDragonfly [2008-11-09 15:24:49 +0000 UTC]

I'd love to live there too. The medieval bits and the 16th Century parts were cold, but the 19th century part in the background was really comfortable. I could spend hours just reading by the fire in the library if I was given the chance

Cheers for the and for the one on 'Bringing the Boat In' too

A friend of mine says this is computer enhanced. I think it is just beautiful with the sky and all. .

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Bogbrush In reply to Amy--Louise [2008-11-13 19:09:01 +0000 UTC]

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't computer enhanced - I did darken the sky and lighten the foreground to compensate for where I'd focused (If I'd focused on the sky, the foreground would be black and if I'd focused on the foreground, the sky would have been black). The colour of the sky here is how I remember it in my mind's eye.

Saying that, I'm just glad that you find it beautiful

I really hate to tell him he was right, so let's pretend you didn't say that.

It is beautiful either way.
