Castleton 5

@{H} creatives: Thanks! - I'm back now and will post some of the photos from my trip to Sardinia over the next few days.

@Evi: Thanks Evi - I took a look at your photo web site - it is really well designed with some beautiful images!

@Laurie: Thanks Laurie - now I'm back from Sardinia I'll post some of the photos over the next few days, starting tomorrow!

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine!

Pretty much all the buildings (and the walls in the fields) are built from the same locally quarried stone which brings a true harmony to the place.

@Brian: Thanks Brian - I've just come back from 2 weeks in the heat of the Meditteranean and the one thing that struck me most forcefully when I came home was how green it is here in the UK (even though I have to say I enjoyed that fantastic quality of light so much whilst i was away!)

@Olaide: Thanks Olaide!

@Miguel: Thanks Miguel - Castleton is a very beautiful town surrounded by rolling green hills - it would be difficult to take a bad shot of the place!

@Bjarte: Thanks Bjarte! - Yes, Castleton is about 40 minutes by car from where I live on the edge of the Peak District. All the rain we get here in the north of England has to have some benefits :-). We may not get great light very often but the the variety in colours of green compensates to some degree! :-)

@Shrig: Thanks! - I guess we sometimes forget how lucky we are here in England for photographic subjects. The variety is fantastic. Even though I live on the edge of the hill country near the area on this photo it still only takes an hour to drive to the sea on the West Coast and two hours to the East Coast.
