Springtime in Alnwick

Spring is coming and it is most obvious just outside the castle walls. This photo was taken of the picnic area where the yellow flowers are everywhere.

Fortress on the Hill

This structure shot was taken of the Castle on Holy Island. The Castle itself is no where near the size of Alnwick, but it was built to last and watch for incoming invaders.

Coffee Art

During our stay at Holy Island, we decided to get a cup of coffee. When it was brought out to us, there was literally art in the foam. It was the coolest looking coffee I have ever ordered.

Getting Lost in the Castle

I took this photo of a couple and their baby looking at the Castle map. Since we have lived here for four months, it's hard for us to imagine being lost, but I think it happens more then we think.

Seashells by the Sea Shore

This nature shot was taken on the beach near Holy Island. The sights were amazing and the weather even better.

Lights in the Night

This night shot was taken at a monument next to Green Park. The area around it was dark place so this caught my eye immediately.

Newborns on the Farm

These little lambs were keeping warm under a red heat lamp. To distort the picture I remove the color and added the tiling filter.

Wind-Blown

I took this motion photo on top of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It was an extremely windy day and the flag was blowing quickly in the wind. With the exception of the wind, it was one of the best days.

What is the Time?

This is the Clock Tower inside the Castle walls. Looking up at the Tower I was able to get this low angle shot with the sun behind the tower.

Wall of Strength

This high angle shot was taken looking straight down the wall on the gun terrace. Since the Castle is so old, you can see it has been growing plants for many years.
