View from Warwick Castle

View from atop the upper wall of the medieval castle in Warwick, England on the River Avon. The castle was originally built by William the Conqueror in 1608 and rebuilt in later centuries. I'm using one of my favorite mask textures from Shadowhouse Creations.

Abandoned

The Valley of the Mills sits below Piazzo Tasso in Sorrento, Italy. The former flour and saw mills were abandoned shortly after the 1866 construction of the plaza isolated it from the nearby sea and increased the humidity to the point that it was uninhabitable. The ruins are unmarked and have a sense of mystery about them.

Dubrovnik at Dusk

After a day of exploring Dubrovnik in a light misting rain, the clouds finally began to clear and the pastel colors of this old city began to emerge.

Mystery Castle

The Mystery Castle in the foothills of South Mountain was built in the 1930s of mostly salvaged materials. It was a gift from a father to the daughter he had left behind when she was still a child. After his death, she moved into the house with her mother and lived there the remainder of her life. It's a truly amazing place and a historic landmark in Phoenix. http://www.mymysterycastle.com/
