"Not everyone will agree here, but, from a personal point of view (and of course, I'm biased) - this shot hits all the right notes for me. I believe at least, it's one of my best. "
"Bothwell Castle is a large medieval castle sited on a high, steep bank, above a bend in the River Clyde, in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is located between Uddingston and Bothwell, about 10 miles (16 km) south-east of Glasgow. Construction of the castle was begun in the 13th century by the ancestors of Clan Murray, to guard a strategic crossing point of the Clyde. Bothwell played a key role in Scotland's Wars of Independence, changing hands several times.
The huge cylindrical Donjon was built in the 13th century, but before the rest of the castle was completed it was severely damaged in a series of sieges. Rebuilding in the early 15th century enlarged the castle, but it was abandoned by the 18th century. The present ruin is rectangular, with the remains of the Donjon to the west, and the later Great Hall to the east. The courtyard is enclosed by long curtain walls, with round towers at the south-east and south-west corners."

"The road works up the street are from the curry house catching fire a while back. This led to one of the few half decent night clubs next door being shutdown ever since due to water damage. Boo."

"found in the depths of the external hard drive - I've managed to lose most of my landscape photos so have been scouring around to see what I have left and found this one, don't know why I never used it earlier!"

"The sun was dropping to the west, the sunshine was gentle, the temperature was warm - a summer evening in Scotland.
I wish this was the weather all year round."

"It was raining tonight. It always looks dank down here regardless of the weather but the place has so much potential. Managed a quick snap at 800 iso."
