View from a Keep

Tuesday 17th May - Day 150

Or rather, the lack of one.... not being 8 feet tall, nor being 10 feet closer to the window, I can't show you the archers eye view... but I can show you the state of the internal walls of the castle.

Lydford Castle, technically a keep, dates from 1195 and was originally erected as a prison.

For those who remember (or even those that don't :) ) my very first PaD, Lydford Church at Sunset was taken from the mound surrounding the castle

The external view is

superb !

Great shot, Lee. I know how hard these are to do; I tried a few at a fortress in Quebec last summer. Very tough to capture the feeling inside and a hint of outside as well, without either being too dark or blown out. Excellent job; I couldn't do it. :)

Great shot.

Lovely image, Lee ...
The lighting is so subtle on the sides of the wall ... such gorgeous textures!

Brilliant shot Lee. Love how the light rests on the plants. Really does feel like a dark, dank cell.

Soooo, am I the only one feeling claustrophobic??? ;) I do like the greenery on the walls! And I love your first PAD shot! :)

jude17-May-2005 23:52
Very cool perspective. i like how the light is lw yet the bit of light spreads across the greenery
Guest 17-May-2005 22:42
The lighting looks tough but looks like you managed it just fine. Neat shot,Lee!

Nice light through the arrow slit. Very atmospheric shot.

It really gives you the feeling you are there...dark and damp. Nice chink of light from the 'window'
Antonis Sarantos17-May-2005 20:33
Nicely composed!

so you had a nice day out while some of us were working hard? very nice too!
Leo Charette17-May-2005 18:12
Lee I think this is a great shot... I enjoy how the light slightly lumninates the rocks leading the eye to the opening. I can smell the dampness. Your caption and comments bring this alive. Great having the reference to your earlier picture.

A fascinating view.

This is wonderful. I can almost smell it the moisture.
