HDR one shot, edited using Photoshop CS2 and Photomatix HDR software / If you are gonna visit a castle in England, well this has to be in the top 5 best to go and see, well worth visiting. / Warwick Castle was built on the orders of William the Conqueror in 1068 as part of a defensive chain of castles established to maintain power in his new territories. It is possible that some kind of defensive structure existed on the site in the early tenth century or before belonging to Ethelfleda, the daughter of Alfred the Great, The castle has been remodelled and strengthened over the years to the point we see it today. The first castle consisted of a huge mound of earth topped with a wooden fort. To the north of the mound was the bailey surrounded by a ditch and wooden palisade. The castle was positioned by the side of the River Avon which gave protection to the castle on that side. The wooden structure on top of the mound was replaced by a stone shell keep some of which can still be seen. The wooden palisade around the bailey has also been replaced by stone walls and towers. During the Baron’s War Simon de Montfort’s forces attacked and damaged the defenses. The Beauchamp family took possession of the castle shortly after and owned the castle for almost 200 years. In the late fourteenth century the several major changes were made to the castle including the great hall and domestic ranges, a water gate and improvements to the main gatehouse and the barbican infront of it. Over the centuries the castle became an important seat of power and was the home for the Earls of Warwick who played an important role in shaping the history of England. Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick was known as the ‘Kingmaker’ for his involvement in bringing Edward IV to the throne. The castle is now owned by the Tussaud Group and is possibly the best castle to visit in Britain due to the wide range of events and attractions that can be seen. /

Tis the beginning of the wildflower season here so I paid another visit to Warwick Open Space today and will continue to do so…still waiting for the Spider Orchid to come out.
I’m not spying on my neighbours! This was the view I had as I walked outside for a cigarette around 11pm. I liked how the clouds still had colour even at this late hour…with the hint of a storm.

Had a walk around Warwick Open Space today (Perth, Western Australia). I found too many plants to upload one by one, so combined a few of them. My thirst in not quenched yet, I still have to located some I had not seen from last year’s wildflower season. Roll on the weekend as I am rather limited in my lunch breaks at work. Could spend all day looking around! Haven’t combined photos like this before, so I hope they are worth looking at, little concerned about the file size
....and it will be taken away….keep your faith! / /
While there is a total eclipse of one of this planets suns, an unidentified alien entity drifts close to the planets outer atmosphere.
I was on my way to photograph the other twin planet when out of nowhere came this gigantic comet heading right into it! I captured this shot and altered my course as fast as I could, and warped out of the galaxy. /
*Apophysis manipulated in gimp finished off in photoshop. I see what looks like a motorcycle cop in space, hence, Milkyway Patrol.
This was made in photo shop elements using apophysis206_3Dhack layers manipulated. Also used were the plug in “super nova” in gimp for the stars in the background. The planet was made with solarcell plug in in ps.
Warwick Long Bay, Warwick, Bermuda. September 2006. One of the beaches where our pink sand is most noticeable. “The distinctive color of Bermuda’s sand is single-celled animal called a foram, which grows in profusion on the underside of rocks. These animals have bright red skeletons, which when the foram dies, are eroded by the waves and mixed with the other matter that makes up Bermuda’s sand (clam shells, snail shells, and coral—which are all white) to give the sand a pinkish hue.” - http://www.theinsider.com/Bermuda/Attractions/bermudabeaches.htm
Look closely….. —-—-——- This is a composite image, created with a photo I shot while standing atop Warwick Castle, in England. The landscape is from the photo. I then added the turbulent clouds, and the little horse. I then processed the image in a way similar to tilt-shift photography, to give that odd appearance of looking like a train model. I love that look, and I hope you do too!
