Hello harsh, what a wonderful place, the sunset pictures are stunning, the playful pidgeon obviously doesn't know his his beak from his elbow if he thinks your status is amateur, and the final picture is my favourite and quite 'picture perfect'
Two tickets for part 2 please

Beautiful sunsets and it looks like a very interesting place to stay. I like the perspective you have in your last shot.

Thank you for your kind and generous words Steve. I'm not sure I deserve them but thanks all the same.

The most wonderful part of the this fort was that this was owned by an acquaintance, and we had the whole place to ourselves
