As a few have already guessed right, the little crank on the base has a purpose. The turning reveals an unique clockwork function in each castles.
I tried to inspire the motions by the animations in the Game of Thrones show intro, but kept it very simple to blend in with the castle design. Functionality is not one of my strengths so it was quite a challenge, but an interesting one.

This image is recognisable as one location for the filming of Game of Thrones and as the site for Kings Landing.
Winter is coming!
... this shot is from beside the harbour café. The harbour is to the right of this, more or less behind the camera. The harbour was used in filming Game of Thrones. The Giant's Causeway is a few miles away along the coast.
PS: You don't want to know how many "Lying" poses I went through before I found one that looked like she was dying rather than being a pin-up model.
This photo was taken at Murlough Bay , County Antrim , Northern Ireland, just after a February sunrise.
The area is a frequent location for the shooting of 'Game of Thrones'.
The tree sits at the northern end of a plot memorial to Sir Roger Casement who was raised locally, and who was hanged in London following his conviction on gun running charges, prior to the Easter Rebellion in 1916 in Dublin. Casement was a former British Government diplomat who became disillusioned with colonialism following a posting to the Congo in Africa.
Early morning sparing not working how it was supposed to go. When still healing from the war even the house guards give you a hard time. Still have to practice as there is no rest for the wicked.

The Lewis chessmen have reached an impasse.
The original chess pieces were found on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, but it's not certain where they were from or how they got to the island. However, a popular theory is that they were made in Trondheim in western Norway around 1150–1200. There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, Trondheim was a centre for walrus ivory carving in the Middle Ages; secondly, a fragment of a queen piece in a similar style was found in a local church; and finally, the decoration on the Chessmen's thrones resemble carvings in medieval Norwegian churches.
At this time, the Western Isles where the Chessmen were buried were part of the kingdom of Norway, and not Scotland as they are today.

A twisted, tattered, and tangled banner hanging above the Bayside BMW parking lot gave me bad omen vibes when I first spotted it. But when I walked back the next night, it had already flipped in the wind, looking more Game of Thrones winter battle in the snowstorm. Bayside BMW, Bayside, Queens, NYC -- February 11, 2025
