A mist filled valley, dominated by the 1000yo ruins of Corfe Castle, illuminated by the morning sun...

@naturehawk Another cuppa - another wonderful photo to enjoy whilst drinking it ๐Ÿ™‚
@Kosch thanks, glad you like it ๐Ÿ‘Œ
@naturehawk a curious fact: a generation after the introduction of oenothera to England the castle was destroyed for good.
@tg9541 it has a very interesting history for sure!
@naturehawk Great atmospheric photograph. Makes Corfe Castle seem like a fairy tale castle.
@DevraWiz thank you...it is a very special place ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™
@naturehawk "The Men of the West did not live here.... But..., in the first days of the North Kingdom, they built a great watch-tower on Weathertop, Amon Sรปl they called it. It was burned and broken, and nothing remains of it now but a tumbled ring, like a rough crown on the old hill's head. Yet once it was tall and fair. It is told that Elendil stood there watching for the coming of Gil-galad out of the West, in the days of the Last Alliance."

You're welcome. I love the mist & the way the lighting is on the flowers.
