Sited in the heart of the Urdaibai ReserveIt (Basque Country)... Arteaga is a castle in the Romantic mould, built at the order of Empress Eugenia de Montijo, Lady of Arteaga, in 1857.
What a pretty castle, if castles can be pretty. Those clouds are very dramatic too. It must be very temperate here to have pine trees as well. Wonderful photo.
Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.

Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
Is that the real sky! if so, you got a brilliant capture in this...Looks very threatening, and that castle gives this right 'setting' for it...........
What an intriguing photo, great position and angle. Waiting until the clouds behind the main tower were positioned just right was well worth the wait. Intriguing also because I can't imagine where this place would be located; has to be along the Mediterranean somewhere, with a palm tree like that in the pic. Great shot.
