AHHH calm water. What a great feel this has with the clouds and the lush greenery and an old world castle. But you have to go back when the work on the castle is finished. Of course, you won’t get the same weather conditions will you.

triciamary
Another great shot! Too bad about the scaffolding, but it is a necessary part of life to keep these historical buildings safe and available to the public. Great perspective and details. And I agree with Andrew! You have the eye for a good photo and you show that even though you are using a “point and shoot” camera, it’s the ability to see a good shot that is most important. Well done!

You are very kind Tricia, thank you for your lovely comments

Well ! . . . . I saw your picture of the crane at Chatham Historic Dockyard and it reminded me to re-visit there, so likewise, you should contact them and ask for your share. I will keep an eye open for your Scotney Castle images and stay posted as I also intend to put a couple of Chatham ones on soon. Thanks for your comments
