Nice - I love castles, not too many in the States, but whenever I get to Europe I'm sure to visit several

Thank you. Wales is the place to visit for castles. They obviously took a lot of subduing.

My mother's father-line goes to Wales. He was a Quaker who emigrated to Bucks County, PA, around 1690. His farm was still in the family in the 1960's.

Cool castle! Here's your second comment
Seriously, I was redirected here from your comment on Heidi 's post . I don't think it has anything to do with faving from thumbnails (I never even knew you could do that, I always prefer to view art in full). I think most people are either just shy, tired (sometimes I'm too tired to comment), or they don't really know of anything constructive to say (as I have proved with the comment above - I really don't know what to say about this piece).
