Along with over half a mile of town walls, Denbigh Castle is a classic fortress of Edwardian proportions. Edward I’s successful 13th-century campaign in the region was cemented by the creation of an English borough in Denbigh from 1282 onwards. He simply built on top of what was a traditional Welsh stronghold. In so doing, he made sure all traces of Dafydd ap Gruffudd, the previous unlucky incumbent, were removed for ever.
Henry de Lacy, one of the King’s loyal commanders, was given control of the area and had the task of building the new castle. He couldn’t go far wrong with the king’s master mason, James of St George, at his side. It wasn’t all plain sailing however. A Welsh rebellion, led by Madog ap Llywelyn, captured the partly-built castle in 1294 but Edward’s dominance and the castle-building programme were soon restored. You can see for yourself the two phases of building work. The post-rebellion work is marked by different colour stone, thicker curtain walls and a hint of Caernarfon-style angular towers.
Geometry of a white house. My internet had crawled to a stop later this afternoon evening. Just loved everyone's geometry photos.
Goneplax rhomboides is a species of crab. It is known by the common name angular crab because of its angular carapace. Although it is also called the square crab, its shell is in fact more trapezoidal than square. This species is also known as the mud-runner because they are able to run away quickly when threatened.
It has been a long time since my las post. I'm really busy and I hardly have time for visiting your streams. My apologies.
Reedited version of a previous image. I prefer this one since it conveys more drama and I've been able of recovering the yellow tones on the horizon.

A poorly-judged reckless action here will result in serious injury, or worse, a visit from the grim reaper!
I've replaced my original jpeg post with one at a 'cleaner' resolution
Walking around this building, I was drawn to how its angular form caught the light against the dark sky. By positioning myself to capture this specific perspective, I wanted to transform what might be an ordinary structure into something more dramatic and abstract.
The high contrast processing was a deliberate choice to emphasize the geometric quality and the repetitive pattern of the facade elements. I find that stripping away color and context can reveal the pure architectural forms that might otherwise go unnoticed.
What I enjoy about architectural photography is finding these moments where buildings become almost like abstract sculptures. The V-shaped composition creates this sense of upward movement that gives energy to what's actually a static structure.
By isolating just this fragment against the dark background, I wanted to focus attention on the interplay between light and form - how illumination transforms and defines the building's character in ways we might miss when viewing it as a whole.
La basílica de Sant Jordi (Basilika Sv. Jiří) és un dels edificis més antics del castell de Praga, i de la ciutat en general. Data del s. X, i compta amb dues torres llombardes precioses així com diverses tombes reials.
=======================
The romanesque basilica of St. George, in Prague castle (Basilika Sv. Jiří) is one of the oldest buildings in the castle and in whole Prague. It's a beautiful example of canonic romanesque arquitecture, although the façade was completely rebuilt in baroque style.

Another old photo that I wanted to rework. Some some they used Meteora, some say they used Saxony's Switzerland, the chinese say that James Cameron used Zhangjiajie National Park as inspiration for Avatar.
I worked more on this photo that I am willing to accept, and I was not really convinced in the end, I prefered the blue colors but you can see more details and deepness in red and yellow.
Back in May 2020 just two months after the working from home and lockdown order, I walked by a local hospital about 10 minutes away and photographed the garage. No one at the time would think that working from home would become the norm 10 months after.

A short while back, I posted a couple images of backlit black-capped chickadees on a snag. This image shows part of that same snag from the other side and with the chickadee front-lit. The pose gives a good look at the underside of the bird.
