A few postcards of the castle I recently stayed in.

Our apartment comprised the whole of the top floor of the building with the long greenhouse below shown in the first image, so you can imagine the views we had. Great stuff.

Yes I did, but I've still not arrived at the digital age yet. I need to scan some, but the majority are still in my camera. I'll get them sorted sometime.

Oh, come on Andrew, I've just bought two new shiny cameras, I know what you mean though.
Its so good to not have to go in to the darkroom and come out of there suffering what a glue sniffing kid would call heaven!

So I'll have a few new images to post today hopefully.
