Sorry I missed yesterday; I had two trips for work on Monday and Tuesday, so I haven't been around a computer to post a new picture.
Today's picture is from "inside" the ruins of the Great Hall at Kenilworth Castle. This castle was gutted along with many others around 1656 so that they would not be a threat to the crown. Kenilworth is a fascinating place, and it was my favorite spot we went to when Alison and I were in England three years ago (thanks for taking us there, Christi).
ooooh, I love all my photos from Kenilworth too...it's so eerie and sad, but yet, still beautiful! Gorgeous photo Dave! smiles...
This is one of my favorite Kenilworth photos. One thing I like is that you can see how lush the green grass is. The whole place was so beautiful.
Christi, I love all your photos of Kenilworth too! Yours are much better than mine. Sadly, I couldn't get any interesting pictures from there and this is my best one. I feel like I had a wasted photography day while in two of the greatest locations (Warwick Castle and Kenilworth). Oh well, I guess that means I'll just have to go back ;-)
LOL! I keep looking at this photo and wondering how I missed this angle...this photo is just gorgeous...I love how you can see all the detail of the stone up at the top where the moss is growing on it.
If you ever do make it back, you have to go visit Sudely...it's in the same area as these and was also bombed during the civil war, but was partially rebuilt, so it is part ruin, part fully functioning castle...just gorgeous....hmmmm, I need to go dig out those photos. I may need to scrapbook more of them.

There's just something romantic about old ruins. I have no doubt that life wasn't perfect for the people that lived there, but I like to pretend that they all lived a fairy tale. I can't pass up exploring an old ruin, so thanks for letting me live through your photos.
