Photo Scavenger

One of my goals for last year was to keep up with posting on this community... and I failed in a particularly spectacular fashion (i.e. I didn't post here once last year). Gonna give it another try this year and I'm already off to a better start.

I took this photo at Kenilworth Castle on a visit to the UK back in 2006 on my old point and shoot camera. I was surprised by how well the photo managed to actually capture what I was seeing (I even had the photo printed large so I could frame it... it's hanging next to our front door).

I make no promises, but am going to try again this year! This was the gateway to the Olympic Park last August, through which we passed with surprising ease, despite horror tales of mammoth queues and time consuming security searches.

I was pretty good last year for the first 10 months - then it all fell apart, but rather than go back, I start again and head forward!

So many people have posted gorgeous doors and gates, I thought I would take it a slightly more boring way.  My parents live in a long bungelow ... This was taken half way along, with the dining room to my left, and the kitchen ahead and right and Mum & Dad's bedroom straight ahead ...

PS Welcome curiouswombat to the mod's seat!

I had intended going out and taking a new picture for my first prompt - but the weather has been gloomy and grey - so I have decided to look back at last year, rather than forward to this one...



That is in the grounds of a National Trust property called Baddesley Clinton.

This is taken from the drawbridge looking into the main courtyard of the house;



I'm sorry - I couldn't resist posting two.
