I think we've finally crossed into 2025, so a new thread. The old thread ended at https://mastodon.scot/@carusb/114351947348113749 .

Pleasance moat. The Pleasance is a square raised area surrounded by a double moat, now mostly dry, built as a party site by Henry V, nearly a mile from Kenilworth Castle.

Castle with long shadows. Huge stone windows, too. #FensterFreitag

Icy lake and birds. That's the ancient Abbey Barn in the background.

Icy lake reflection.

Light snow on a thatched cottage.

Finally got my #FolderWeek photos scanned and uploaded to C1Pro. This is the other end of the small row of thatched cottages from my post earlier today
#ZeissIkonta 524/16 #IlfordFP4 home devved in HC-110 dilution B.
Abbey Fields in light snow. Sometimes you can sledge here, right in the centre of town! Good reason to settle...
#PentaxMX, SMC #Pentax M 35mm f/2, #IlfordHP5 lab devved by #DarkroomUK in #XTOL.
Another #FolderWeek post: two more thatched cottages. The second has just been re-thatched; if you look closely just above the upstairs window, you might see that there are at least 3 different layers of thatch here! I love the fluid shapes that thatched roofs can have, but they must be seriously expensive to maintain!

One more square castle (!) photo for #FolderWeek. This is taken in the undercroft of the Great Hall.

Snowy walk.

Snowy walk again. This couple are walking towards the castle, unseen.

Frozen lake.

After the thaw, the flood... behind the castle.
#Pentax MX, SMC Pentax M 35mm f/2, #IlfordHP5 lab devved by The Darkroom UK in XTOL.
There's always one! Van almost up to its windows in the flooded ford, for #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday.
#Pentax MX, SMC Pentax M 35mm f/2, #IlfordHP5 lab devved by The Darkroom UK in XTOL.
Road block. This 150-year-old oak tree has fallen across the ford during Storm Éowyn, blocking the road completely.
#Pentax MX, SMC Pentax M 35mm f/2, #IlfordHP5 lab devved by The Darkroom UK in XTOL.
Flood behind the Castle again.

After the flood, frost again. Water birds gather in a small patch of open water on Abbey Lake.

The hornbeam.

Across the icy lake. That building tucked into the trees is the 800-year-old Abbey Barn, one of only two remaining buildings.
#Pentax MX, SMC Pentax M 35mm f/2, #IlfordHP5 lab devved by The Darkroom UK in XTOL.
Icy bulrushes.
(It feels a bit weird posting these frosty photos when we're in a long sunny spring, but hey, nevermind!)

Frosty teasels.
#Pentax MX, EDIT: Actually SMC Pentax K 55mm f/1.8, Delta 400, home dev HC-110 dilution B. Sorry about that!
Waterbirds among the frosted reeds. The swans help to keep small areas of water clear of ice; this is the first time I've seen them [EDIT: keep the water clear] this far up among the reeds.
#Pentax MX, EDIT: Actually SMC Pentax K 55mm f/1.8, Delta 400, home dev HC-110 dilution B. Sorry about that!
Frosty log. This is from a tree that came down in last year's storms.

Reeds in the ice. The floods had not fully subsided when this cold snap arrived.
#Pentax MX, SMC Pentax K 55mm f/1.8, #IlfordDelta400, home dev in HC-110 dilution B.
Frosty reeds and castle!
#Pentax MX, SMC Pentax K 55mm f/1.8, #IlfordDelta400, home dev in HC-110 dilution B.
Frosty, foggy castle!

Door, windows and... dinosaur? Something for #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday anyway.

Timbers. These are exposed frames of a "half-timbered" house on Castle Green; they date from the 16th to 17th century! The brick panels are later additions; they would originally have been "wattle and daub", ie mud. EDIT: The cottage and these timbers can be seen at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035342.

I found a long-expired roll of Konica VX 200 Super colour film from a past Secret Santa, and decided to rate it at EI 50 and try some Intentional Camera Movement (#ICM). TBH it didn't really work out well, but maybe a few are worth showing. Crackley Wood...
