Ok time for more history. This one is of Falkland Palace which is in the centre of Fife. It is one of the many NTS sites in Scotland. Once home to Mary Queen of Scots

is the massive chess set still there ? we went on a school trip when i was about 10 lol
 
Aye it is mate just as you come out from the Palace itself and head to the gift shop/exit. Woulda took some pics of it but there was a couple of neds messing about on it :(
 
Wow Allan - does it rain a lot there by any chance? That lawn in #1 looks like a golf course! ;)

All that lovely texture in the stone makes for a wonderful B&W opportunity - and those skies as well

Hope you don't mind - I reckon you could have a B&W field-day with all those castles you have in your neighborhood :)

Alan the original is really nice but must admit Chris the B&W treatment does suit it.........in fact I'm finding that I much prefer B&W over colour lately in most things, Nice Crop on it too
 
Ye I must admit I like the B&W myself. Its something I probably overlook although have tried it a couple times with mixed results

PS. Chris yes we do get a fair bit of rain but most time its pretty dull bland skys but occasionally you get a bit of life in it. ND grad filters are almost always in my bag to help out a little
