I like the contrasts between nature and the stone. You could bet up very close to those bees, but they were encased in glass

It’s amazing how a bit of foreground colour breathes life into an old stone building. It’s nice to see that there are other things that the visitor can engage with here … although maybe not too closely

I think you are right with them being windy because they are on a hilly location. They are placed in their locations for visibility and defence which also makes the locations rather bleak!

I like the way they try to restore as much as they can, but leave the passage over time visible too.

They are quite a contrast to the ruins aren’t they?

Looks like a great place to visit in a wonderful setting. Seems it is always windy at the castle locations, maybe because they are usually up on a hill. Anyway great pics.

England is known for its gardens, Cherry, so this fits right in. I love the Bee House image in particular!
