Castle Ara, Lower Austria.
This must have been toe original entry to the castle, nowadays behind it is only a small yard.
Thanks to all who view and comment!
I like your choice of subject matter here. These European ruins carry so much baggage with them that every stone can speak of tragedies and joys. I think that two things might have improved the shot. 1) if the shot where from further away you could have taken advantage of the rule of thirds which generally helps images. 2) If you could have shot this image about two hours earlier the sun might have been on this side of the wall providing a cornucopia of textural lighting. Lighted images are generally better than shadowed ones. I'd love to hear more though about this wall's story.
