photography->castles/ruins
In Northumberland bordering Scotland during the Middle Ages we had families of robbers called border Reivers,They would rustle the cattle,steal sheep and generally cause mayhem.The local farmers and land owners built "Bastles"..These structures would serve as mini-castles..The animals kept below and the living quarters above,Where they could be defended..Some are still lived in..This one isn't but Is in good repair..R.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

Wonderful shot! Captures the essence of good photography - curiosity about the world...

Gratitude to the Ancient Instructors "What they undertook came to pass. All things hang like a drop of dew upon a blade of grass." W.B. Yeats
Cool capture and history, Richie. A nice companion piece to that information panel you had posted about these structures,
