Little castle on the prairie

[Dave Farnes]

The castle was on the coast when built in the days of Henry VIII, but the coast has moved a mile south since then. The marshland is normally green and wet, but not this summer.

Nice leading lines there, Dave. Not so dry up north. Only 20 degrees today.

 

[John Holland]

The yellow/brown grass is a nice complementary color to the blue sky.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Thank you guys. Was 30 degrees here today, set to be even hotter tomorrow.

 

[Raza Shaikh]

That's hot!

With that color combo it could be a Crusader castle from the Middle East. Except for the grass. What's the name of the castle, Dave?

It is Camber castle, near Rye in East Sussex.

Lovely tones and composition. That brown grass just seems strange for the UK. That also makes the shot more interesting.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Thank you Milan. Yes, it has been the driest summer here since the drought of 1976.

Now that is fabulous, Dave. I've been to Camber many times but never to the castle. Must rectify that some time.
