[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
View of Alnwick Castle from across Hulne Park and River Aln in the spring of 1984. The castle has been the residence of the Duke of Norththumberland & his family for many generations. There have been two Dukes & Dutches since this photo was taken. Scanned from negative and cleaned up with PS CS3.

Alnwick Castle is the second largest inhabited castle in England, the first being Windsor Castle, and has been the home of the Percys, Earls and Dukes of Northumberland since 1309. The earliest mention of Alnwick Castle in the history books appears soon after 1096 when Yves de Vescy became baron of Alnwick and erected the earliest parts of the Castle.

The Castle was first restored by the 1st Lord Percy of Alnwick in the early 1300's and portions of this restoration remain today, including the Abbot's Tower, the Middle Gateway and the Constable's Tower.

Very nice and pleasant vista of this impressive castle. Very interesting foreground, with a large number of cattle and lovely trees all around. Good work!

Have a nice WE.

Hi Latiff,

another great one. I like the parorama crop. It fits perfectly to frame all those sheeps and the castle. Very well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Latiff. Great contrast and good crop. Beautiful sharp and sense on quite from ancient building and white sheeps.

Hi Latiff,
Mood is superb. A sight is really romantic. The beautiful lights, the kind animals in the forefront and the romantic castle really imposing and picturesque mood is conjured up in front of us. Great! Have a nice Sunday

Hello Latiff,
the same effect as with the Inverness picture: it is obvious that the photo was produced with an ancient technique but with a fine and noble one. And since the theme itself is a fine and noble old building, the result achieved by old film technique is excellent, may be even better than a diital photo would have been. I like the big foreground and the sheeps there, making the scene lovely.
Best whishes
P.S.: Your profound notes may not be left without acknowledgement.
