Alun's images
A little Castle in Pembrokeshire Wales. It was a very gray day so the b/w worked better.

@Rhys: Thanks Rhys, I took it in colour but the sky was washed out but i think it worked better in b/w.
A place that reeks of history and I wonder why and how it got into such disrepair. An intriguing image!

@Michael Skorulski: Life started in the 11th century, and it changed over the years more being bilt and updated. It was abandond in 1686 then the national trust took over in 1983. So it was left for a long time. Cheers Michael
@BABYLONEZOO: Thank you

Very nice capture Alan. Being from the States it's hard to imagine buildings this old some times. In my opinion, we don't appreciate our old buildings like we should but it's our heritage and we should preserve them.
I like what you have in your portfolio so far and can't wait to see more.
Cheers,
Rob

@Rob: Yes we do have some old buildings, I have just been looking at your portfolio, you do like your dogs, and there's some great images of them.
can't wait to see more.
Thanks Rob
Sorry about the misspelling of your name Alun...

@Observing: Yes, it's a very nice area to visit, Lots of castles.
Cheers :)
Another great capture of an old historical building. I wonder what those walls could tell us. I especially like it in b & w. Just lends to the ambience of the picture.

@João Mourão: Thank you very much for your comments
Been there,done that,didn´t buy the T-shirt because the National trust is too expensive.I also paid over 6 quid for 4 ice creams from the van in the car park last time I was there !!!!

@Anthony: We didn't buy any ice cream, I cant believe the National trust hasn't started charging you £6 to park. So people get down there before they start.
Oh yes! The light is superb! Looks beautiful in b/w!
I love this architecture!
