Slain's castle,Cruden bay,Scotland Hi all!Time for another pic from good old Scotland!LOL.I'm sure you're all soooo shocked! I took this as I was wandering around the ruins of Slain's castle,on the rugged northeast coast.This castle is perched on a clifftop,and if it were'nt sunny,it would have been almost creepy.In fact,this castle ruin inspired Bram Stoker to write 'Dracula'!He used to holiday nearby and another of his stories,'Mystery of the Sea',is based on a local ghost story.It is unfortunate that the castle suffered modernization in the 19th century,and if the gossip of two locals is to be believed,there are plans in the works to turn it and its surrounds into housing!What a terrible shame that would be!:( Any way,as I said,it was sunny,VERY sunny in fact.And the atmosphere was really quite lovely.All these wonderful shadows and rays of light were everywhere. I have several shots of this ruin.I hope you like this because I would love to share them with you!Please feel free to offer your most valuable opinions and commentary. Thank you for looking and have a great week!!!!! Marlene (PS-I have been having internet and pc problems but I assure you I will get to all of your wonderful work.I love seeing what you've done!)

Superb compo - the sunlit bands on the interior walls look great against the pitch black shadows, and then, of course, you have the door to eternity. Excellent capture!

Scotland! imagine that! :] actually it would be hard to tell as this says more about depth, shadow & light... a wonderful portal view to the sea... great framing too

Oh, this is most grand indeed! The composition and lighting are superb, and the shadows and texture are perfect for the mood. Magnificent, and please feel free to upload ALL the images you have of Scotland as I will revel in them without exception.

Ahh.. the secret hiding place.Inside looking out through all the stone textures is something that always intrigues me.I also appreciate that the darkness is just enough to see the inside walls. Now who would have lived here.You are getting really talented at the frames.yup yup yup

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! I love this one, it has such a mood to it. A peaceful mood somehow. Looking through that opening and seeing that blue ocean brings peace to me. Looooove that warm light as well. This is just STUNNING!!! And wow, what an incredible job you did on framing it. Very stylish, i simply adore that embossed font. Looks so perfect!!! Yup, you can sure be mighty proud of this one. Have a wonderful monday #:O)

This is a textbook perfect example of how to handle light and shadow. What a dramatic image! The postwork fame accents your "golden" work beautifully.
