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!
