I've never seen photos of a castle looking quite like that before. It looks pretty cool. And it's a really good shot.

Great capture Bill, I always have time to look at your great castle photographs. This is another excellent example. Love all the textures. Nice work as always Bill.

If I were to take a photo from a boat here in Tampa, it would likely be of a huge house built in 2004, during the last construction boom.

Well done, Beautiful photo and spot.

I do like pictures taken from the water back onto land because you get angles not normally seen, the castle is detailed and interesting, excellent work Bill

so somebody thinks they can land on that non existent shore, scale that wall then take on a circular castle that has more angles to shoot from that you can hide from?? beautiful photograph Bill, it really shows the presence of this piece of history

A round castle! That would be fairly uncommon wouldn't it?
