Corfe Castle, Dorset.

Inderdaad schitterend gezicht ROSA

Thank you Fred.

Un superbe endroit où il fait bon de se promener et de découvrir ce magnifique site chargé
d'histoire..Merci chère amie de partager avec nous cette superbe série représentative et excellemment rendue...Je te souhaite une bonne et agréable journée chère Rosa.

Thank you so much for your kind comment dear Malik. There are wonderful views across the Dorset countryside from the castle. Take care & have a good evening.

It is always nice to see such testimonies of previous generations or cultures.
At the same time, however, it is also depressing.
Since the clash of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, there have been wars.
The recent past and the present are no better.
I'm afraid the race man will never learn to live in peace on this planet - unfortunately...

There are too many mad men still in the world Udo.
Take care and have a good evening.

Very impressive, Rosa !!!!

Thank you Marie-claire.

a most beautiful image

Thank you Annemarie.

Impressive ruins; like the sond PiP most.

Thank you very much Jaap.

These ruins are truly impressive and steeped in history.

In addition, this castle had to be even more imposing before its destruction !!!!!!

Good afternoon

Yes it must have been quite a sight before most of it was destroyed Nouchet.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Good evening.

Superbes ruines bien captées !
Bonne journée. Amitiés

Thank you Madeleine.
Have a good evening.
Regards.

Beautiful light and I love how you used the empty sky in your main photo, Rosalyn. Wonderful pips as well!

Thank you for your very kind comments Annalia.

Il devait avoir fière allure à cette époque sur son promontoire... cela semble être un lieu encore bien fréquenté, les images sont belles sous ce beau ciel !*************
Bonne journée Rosa.

Thank you Jocelyne. It still stands high above the village, but dominates in a much better sense than it did years ago. Have a good evening.

A spectacular ruin, Rosa. I love the wee wispy clouds. I love also the very interesting information you have provided. I seem to remember you photographed a station and this castle was in the background. Cheers, Joe

You have a good memory Joe! Yes that's right. On that occasion I travelled from Swanage to Corfe Castle on the train. Thank you for your kind comments. Cheers, Rosa.

Just shows how memorable your photographs are, Rosa.

Beindruckend, Rosalyn! Eine tolle Burg!

Thank you very much Lothar.

Fotografías con buen encuadre, color y distintas focales, que en tres instantáneas actuales, tras el paso de incontables hojas del calendario, atestiguan este castillo dentro de la historia.

Thank you for your kind comments Jose Manuel. Quite a grim history at times. It's good to visit what is left in peace, and has a beautiful view across the Dorset countryside.

I first visited Corfe Castle in the early fifties and haven't seen it since the early sixties. So it is lovely to have your excellent images to remind me of the stature of these old ruins. Thank you Rosa ~ Stay Safe

As kids we would often pass the castle when my father was taking us to Swanage for the day. It used to amaze me, so high on the hill. There is more remaining than it looks and many chances to view the surrounding countryside. Take care and have a good evening Nick.

It's been around 10 years since I last visited these beautiful ruins.........when I was there for a sunrise shoot.

The castle still looks splendid..........especially on a sunny day like you had. I like the perspective in the main image and the ruins look stunning against the sky. The detail you've captured is excellent.

I like the wider view in the PiPs as well.........it's good to see people getting out and enjoying themselves. Great work as always.

Did you get the sunrise shot Keith? I would love to see it if you did.
Thank you for your kind comments on all three pictures. It was very hot, so after a nice pub lunch there was nothing for it but to travel the 5 miles to Studland Bay!!

I did indeed: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/19472023/in/album/363229

It was a very misty morning and i got half a dozen shots I was happy with. I'd like to go back and do it again someday, but I don't think I'd be able to manage the climb up the near vertical hill again to get above the castle.......it nearly killed me then - I remember lying on my back in the dew covered grass wheezing for breath :-))

Thanks for the link Keith. A superb shot. We noticed where people had been climbing the hill. No way could I do that!

Wonderful piece of sky.
Can we send it by post ?

Thank you very much.

superbe mon amie ***********belle soirée et bon we à venir
bisous

Thank you very much Angelique.
Happy Friday! Bisous.

Great POV against this beautiful clear sky, Rosa !

Thank you Ulrich.

It was very considerate of those lovely clouds to arrive and enhance the wonderful capture, I remember we walked the trackbed of an old railway may be to Swanage I don't think it was a path it just seemed a good idea at the time

Thank you Peter. The time before when I was in Corfe Castle, I arrived by steam train from Swanage.

Superb images from this iconic castle Rose, beautiful light and a wonderful silhouettes.

Thank you very much for your kind comments Roger.

Marvelous addition to the group Rosa

I FOUND MY FIRST FOSSIL THERE !

IN THE CORFFE LIMESTONES

How wonderful Pam :-)

Lovely images of these impressive ruins, Rosa.

Thank you very much George.

Hi Rosa
I like this set of pictures very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition. It is amazing how two people can go to the same place, and interpret it so differently. Very beautiful indeed!

Maybe you have some pictures of the steam trains too!!
Fantastic colours too
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your kind comments. I did get a picture of the steam train and of the diesel train as well, with I will upload next week. Thanks for the link. I enjoyed looking through them. It was very hot on this visit, so went onto Studland for a bit of sea air.
Take care and have a good weekend,
Rosa.

Beautiful images and information

These days the builders knock down a building and builds new apartments. Probably those days, after the war, they had to knock down anything the looser had. Once I watched David Attenborough say, we humans are viruses of the earth, of course he was talking metaphorically!

Thank you Dinesh.
David Attenborough is a very wise man!

A wonderful collection from these beautiful romantic remains Rosa. Situated on the high ground it dominates the scene, a sense of which you have captured so well here.

Stay safe

Thank you very much Doug.

All the best,
Rosa.

Wow!

.........diese Burg liegt da richtig schön oben am Hügel liebe Rosa und durch das schöne Grün und den Weg wird man sehr schön zur Burg geleitet,mir gefällt das immer,wie du die Motive ins Bild bringst:))

........wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni:))
