Fantastic vertical shot George! The winding road, the rising hill top castle and strong cloud lines make this a powerful moving composition, with the moody gold tinting icing on the cake! What a masterful golden series this has been… you certainly have the Midas touch :^)
A beautifully composed landscape. I like the dynamics of the road and the clouds, which bring so much energy to the picture. It’s like taken in a different world.
You have some beautiful areas to photograph, george! I can see myself on a horse, quietly working my way along that road to the top of the hill and coming home to that castle! The view would be fantastic!
By an amazing coincidence I was standing right here yesterday! But I didn’t see any of that magic! Fantastic composition and light, you really have caught a fairy tale quality to it:~)

The penultimate shot of the ‘Golden Brick Road set. These are the remains of Dunhill Castle, sacked by Oliver Cromwell in the mid-18th Century…
BTW full details of its location can be found for this (and any picture) by placing the cursor over the image. Have a nice weekend!

This burning sky is magnificent. For me who do not like processings sepia, I admit that I am snubbed by your last creations.

Very nice. I’m really enjoying this “gold” series.

WOW!! Beautiful goldish tones and I love the movement in the sky!! Nice capture! I hope you have a great weekend too with a bit more “blue” in it! :O)

Gorgeous golden tone of course but I really love the implied lines all leading to a strong focal point. As always, an excellent shot George!

I bet Oliver Cromwell would turn over in his grave if he could see this, George!

What a wonderful image – I love the dramatic lighting and beautiful sepia tones. Great work!

For me, this image is made by those amazing clouds seemingly emanating from the castle ruins. Great composition as ever.

like an illustration from a Grimm’s fairytale

The upward thrust from the road leading in, and out through the sky has created an absolutely fantastic effect!
