An Englishmans home

As you all know, in the UK all Englishmen wear bowler hats and live in Castles :-). This is Lord Barnards Castle, known as Raby Castle.

I pass this every day on the way to work so I have lots of photographs of it, but every now and then the light is that extra bit special and I just have to jump out and take another one.

The brown spots under the tree are Deer, Venison is all we eat here in England ;-)
