My "local" Castle. Small Castles like this are spread throughout Wales, this particular Castle was the ancestral home to the Morgan Family. It was used on location for the TV series "The Adventures of Robin Hood" in 1950's, starring Richard Green. Unfortunately the Castle is now in disrepair and needs some serious renovation.

Wonderful pictures of your castle. Shame it is falling into disrepair. I see you have a beautiful Rottie who looks happy to be running as fast as he or she can.

Thank you. Her name is Jazmine, 4th Rottie in the past 30 years. First was Roddy, a rescue when I work for Animal Control in the 80's. He was abused and needed surgery to save his life. Never a moment of regret at adopting him. He was my Mum's protector.

I like the B&W best. It dramatizes the starkness of the scenery. Plus when the castle was built there was no color photographs. This is one of those times where I find color distracting. Very well done.
