This rock formation stands like a citadel at the top of Jacob's Ladder. In these wet and misty conditions it really does look like a fortress protecting the upper reaches of Ben Lomond.
As Lesk Alzael describes her SIM creation ►The Citadel is a lost paradise. In the shadow of a high reed.
The forbidding entrance to the Citadel, the centre piece of the massive 19th Century Western Heights fortifications at Dover, designed to defend the town in the event of an attack by the Napoleonic hordes. More recently it was used to keep people in, firstly young offenders, then up to 2015, asylum-seekers.
Depicted here is one corner lookout post in the massive fortress known as the Citadel in southern France. The Citadel overlooks the estuary and river approaches to the important city of Bordeaux and was built to protect France from invasion by England or other adversaries. The fortress dates from the early 1600s.
The School on the Hill (Romanian: Școala din deal; German: Bergschule) is an educational institution in Sighișoara, Romania. It is located next to the covered wooden Stairs, bears Schola Seminarium Republicae and is dated 1619. Its formal name is the Joseph Haltrich High School (Liceul Teoretic Joseph Haltrich).
The school was first mentioned in a document from 1522, which referred to a rector scholae with the academic degree of baccalaureus, to whom the City Council offered a coat worth four guilders for his merits and "to try his best with the youngsters".

Citadel - The early mist burns off Loch Awe revealing the medieval ruined citadel of Kilchurn Castle catching the early dawn light reflected in the supremely still waters of the loch.
A wonderful and inspiring sight at any time, especially so when conditions are as superb as this.

A stone Citadel was built on the Pigeon Island (Guvercin Ada) during the Byzantine Empire. The Island is now connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway. The Citadel was used as a defensive outpost through the years.
Today the Citadel is host to the lighthouse, a restaurant, and a nightclub, and is a popular local hang-out.

The trail to the Citadel is challenging if you're not adept at scrambling. This part here is the last barrier. It looks easy to walk right up to the structure but it is not. But Wilbur helped me and we both made it.
It is hard to imagine what life was like for the people who lived here. They must have had terrible enemies to live up here with little access to water and few places to grow food or hunt food nearby. I have read that the average ancient Puebloan lived to age 35. But somehow, hundreds of them survived in cliffside dwellings like this on the Cedar Mesa at an average elevation of 6,500 feet.
