You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

There is a suburb of Toronto also called Scarborough but it sure doesn't possess the beauty, history, and drama of this place...well, it does have drama but more of the street level kind, lol...a bold and impressive post.

"Love does not dominate; it cultivates." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
OK, Jan - here ya' go.
Situated at the edge of a cliff along the North Yorkshire coast, a naturally defended area and a perfect look out spot, Scarborough Castle still dominates the town and harbour some 300ft (91m) below. The roughly triangular piece of ground forming the headland of Castle Hill has been occupied for over 2500 years, but the first stone fortress on the site wasn't built until the early 12th century by William le Gros. Remains of his early building include a chapel, much altered in the 14th century, and the curtain walls which were strengthened by Henry II in the second half of the 12th century. Henry II was also responsible for destroying the original gate tower and erecting a more elaborate, three-storey square Keep, typical of that period, protected further by a traditional forebuilding.
It really does dominates the landscape doesn't it? Your image is better than any I saw while researching this - well done -

I think I see Owd Bob's tracks on this one. If he were here he might be able to fish around in his rubbish bin and come up with a shot taken of the same castle..either that or the old ruins are starting to look very much alike. I love your view and treatment and thanks to tee for coming up with the information. Lovely job, my dear!
EDIT: Nope, it was Lindisfarne of Owd Bob's that I must have been thinking of. It's sorta, kinda like a castlely thingy j/k j/k j/k

I can see it's going to take me a while to get through your gallery. What great scenery and framing adds dramatic flair to photo. Sky is foreboding. Good post.

I don't know, but it sure looks amazing, (~8
Very dramatic sky, I like that,
I also love the warm tints on the ruins, it makes them look old but yet so real,
Nicely done,
Thanks for sharing
Warm regards
