Ode to Windows XP

Well, there have been many things/people that have been a source of inspiration to me during my quest to learn a bit of photography. One of the initial sources of inspiration were the various landscape backgrounds on the Windows XP desktops! I have always wondered about the beautiful places and scenes shown in those backgrounds.

 

While visiting the Wray Castle in the Lake District, the adjacent fields reminded me of one these backgrounds and I had to stop, take a pause and to capture the wonderful view.

 

Have a great journey in 2013 to wherever your inspirations might take you!

 

Wray Castle was built as a large private house at Claife in the English county of Cumbria, in the Gothic Revival style in 1840. In its lifetime, the castle has been used for a variety of purposes, including as a training centre, and is now a National Trust property.
