Wow Patti I instantly made this my desktop, and added it to my favs. From the ground up you did a tremendous job capturing the ancient look of this Fortification. Very nice job Patti thanks for posting this.

Beautifully shot, with the warmth of the stones coming through, great contrasts, and how fortunate to have such a good sky! I've never been to Haddon, but it's on my list of Must Visits now.

The architecture of this builing is magnificent Patti. I love the weathered look about it. I agree with Randy about the ivy- it just makes this appear even more gothic.

Bats I can do without - scare me to death. Never see them, although there are two species live here. Known as Pekapeka in Maori :)

I'm sure the bats just blew you a kiss on the way by. They wouldn't want to get tangled up in your hair or anything... maybe next time. LOL. Lovely building, I like the darkness of it against the beautiful sky. Thanks for sharing.

I love the shape of the castle set against the clear blue sky, and the vines are beautiful and colorful. Into my favorites. I think I'd like it even more with those stairs ont he bottom cropped off, but that's just me, excellent photo :)

Well, Lord Voldemort destroyed Hogworts but it's since been rebuilt and I choose to believe that this is how it looks now. It does fit in with the bats! Very nice, Patti -

I like all the details you captured there in the ivy, the stone walls and the windows. All this against the blue sky makes a great image. Only the black stair in the forground is a bit distracting, but that is just my personal impression ;-)
