This photo was taken at 1.30am ish in the morning, it was freezing, i was cold, tired & hoping Costa coffee would be open (it wasn't) and thinking i must be truly bonkers. Until 2 joggers ran past us........!!


Aberystwyth Castle by Darren Turner, on Flickr

an Edwardian fortress located in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Mid Wales that was built during the First Welsh War in the late 13th century. It was begun during Edward I's first Welsh campaign. Building work started in 1277. The inner ward was built in a diamond-shaped concentric castle, with a twin D-shaped gatehouse keep with mural towers at each corner. The outer ward consisted of twin D-shaped gatehouse, a barbican, a rock-cut ditch and a large curtain wall with towers.

Thanks For Looking

Love that Daz must have a go at this sort of thing myself as realy getting in to landscapes now, I bet the new Olympus OMD/PEN would be brilliant for this sort of shooting as it has a live BULB mode so you can see the shot developing in front of your eyes, harks back to darkroom work LOL.
Great shot again Daz.

Worth freezing your shutter finger off for I say Daz. I have to agree with the others about the sky, wonderful colour.
