You have some great photos. In return, if you have anything you want photographed in southern Wisconsin, I'll be happy to oblige!
Great shot! Thanks for all the excellent photos you've been posting of late!
Very nice. I look forward to your next one. Thank you for sharing.

Another excellent shot.

That's the clan Castle! It's beautiful.....thanks so much! Dunderave is now owned by the South African doctor who invented Lasik surgery. Someday I will get over there.
Also the original tower is the structure to the left. The lower house, on the right in this picture, was added later. You read more about Dunderave castle here: http://www.knapdalepeople.com/dunderavemdavis.htm and here you will find an historic archive of photographs from the University of Saint Andrews, with two or three wonderful old shots of the tower before it was restored. This archive is a wonderful wonderful resource. HIGHLY recommended! http://special.st-andrews.ac.uk/saspecial/index.php Here's one. This is Dunderave castle on August 9th, 1909. Same day, the inside of the Castles Great Hall...
Another great photo & story
