My Saudi lodger thought it a disgrace..said it was a blot on the landscape and the hill would make a great site for a luxury apartment block!

Really cool looking castle ruin. You can almost picture a dragon curled around its remains. Very nice picture.

Corfe has to have one of the most recognisable profiles of any castle in the country, and you have captured that profile really well Wally.

I will always have a little sadness in these sights like my friend. There is a loss of the inheritances which will never return like. But that disturbs enb nothing the beauty of this monumental place my friend. Cheer still and mile mercies ((5++)) J'aurai toujours un peu de tristesse dans ces vues comme mon ami . Il y a une perte du patrimoines qui ne reviendra jamais comme . . Mais cela ne dérange en rien la beauté de cette place monumentale mon ami . Bravo encore et mile mercis ((5++))
