A couple of weeks ago I had driven up to Palomar Mt to catch the sunrise. Unfortunately I drove through all the clouds on the way up but the fog sitting atop Lake Henshaw made up for it as the sun rose.

Had a recent trip to Helmsley Castle in Yorkshire, England. The castle is quite unusual in that it incorporated not just one moat, but two. A sort of double ditch affair. The castle was used as a Royalist stronghold in the English Civil War around 1644, and after the war it was destroyed by the new parliament. The building in the picture close to the second ditch is actually Tudor in date ( 1500s), and not medieval, unlike the tower which is about 1200.

A six frame pano shot on 6D + 24-70 f4 IS at about 35mm in the very last of the sun before it disappeared below the wooded horizon.

Great shot with good clarity and colours, and a history lesson to go with it. *all thumbs up* (and I don't even like history)

Beautiful shot Sporgon. Nicely done.

I put these under 'landscape' gallery because I think of these as landscapes as much as anything.

This is Southwell Minster in Nottinghamshire, England, a building that has some incredibly old architecture, especially in the nave section of the church where it dates from about 1140. A bit of historical trivia: this was where King Charles I was captured at the end of the English Civil War.

Shot on 6D, 24-70 f4 IS @ 35mm, a six frame pano. f8, ISO 400.
