Sorry, nothing spectacular as the name may suggest! Took this while out locally, it's about 2 miles from me. It's what remains of a castle which was built as a wager in 1750, that a local Lord couldn't build a home for a lady friend in a day. Well, his men did it and it became known as Starlight Castle. What is a shame, from a 1920's photo there was quite a bit left of it then. Just to get something off my chest, while on this little piccy-spree I was followed for a while by 2 women with dogs. Wet dogs. They could see what I was at (with taking 80 photo's in an hour it was hard not to - all of different items, I add, just for the purists...), and while I was poised getting "THE SHOT OF THE DAY" ie. 3 inches away from a Red Admiral butterfly one of the dogs brushed past me and frightened it off. One of the *(*"^@# women turns around and says 'Never Mind'. I just Glared vehemently at her and says "Yes. Never Mind" - I was lost for words! I guess I must have looked pretty mad, coz she sorta backed off a touch. Ok, that's me rant. Thanks for listening!

Yes JordyArt this is quite good. On the positive side at least the dog didn't attack you. Or better yet. Stop right next to you. then ask. "What are you doing?" I received that about 7 time while attempting to take pictures of birds. As if doing that is not frustrating enough! Bsteph

Lol - if the dog had of spoke I would have taken IT'S picture! Hmmm... dilemma. Would I have asked the DOG it's permission or it's owner then????? I know, it happens - it used to happen lots at air shows etc when I had the video camera going - but I had to get it out of my system!! NNNGH!
