Howells moving castle
Because it reminds me of this great (if overlong) animated Japanese movie of the same title.
This shot was actually a bitch to take. The slope is far steeper than it looks and since these were several second exposures my tripod kept falling backwards halfway through each shot - very annoying! I thought asking Laura to twirl the umbrella whilst looking up at the palace would add a great little fantasy element to the composition.
Afterwards we climbed the little hill and explored the palace Monserrate at the top. It had really spectacular views of the valleys and sunset plus the Moorish castle was completely deserted which just added to the fantastic atmosphere.
