Castle Hochosterwitz, Carinthia, Austria
Thanks to all who view and comment ;o)

edit: as this opening is beside one of the gates i presumed that it was for peeking and maybe also shooting the enemy ante portas...

I'm curious like Bob as to why it's called a "shooting" alcove BUT we may not like the answer.... :( Very nice detail and light play. ~Mary~

looks like the marksman (with his bow and arrows?) got to sit down at least while he guarded the gate.. :)

Nice shot, but not the best of your Hochosterwitz shots. It seems a little bit noisy and unsharp. Have you used a high iso?
The colors seems to be a little bit unlifelike.

Seeing this alcove and some other shots of Hochosterwitz it becomes pretty clear why this castle was not ingestible. Great!

When you're through with life and all hope is lost. Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
