Although it was never finished, Kirby Muxloe is an outstanding example of late 15th century castle architecture and brickwork.
William, Lord Hastings, a trusted follower of Edward IV began to build the castle in 1480. He planned to create a splendid residence on a rectangular plan enclosed by walls, towers and a moat. A garden was also laid out beside the castle.
The new buildings however were never completed. Construction immediately ceased when Lord Hastings was executed in 1483 for his opposition to the seizure of the throne by Richard III.
Parts of the unfinished castle were subsequently occupied by the Hastings family but the buildings were probably abandoned and left to ruin during the 16th century. The site was eventually occupied by a farm. In 1911 the castle was taken over by the Ministry of Works, which renewed the moats and repaired the building.
Kirby Hall is an Elizabethan country house, located near Gretton, Northamptonshire, England. The nearest main town is Corby. Kirby was owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I. It is a leading and early example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. Construction on the building began in 1570, based on the designs in French architectural pattern books and expanded in the classical style over the course of the decades. The house is now in a semi-ruined state with many parts roof-less although the Great Hall and state rooms remain intact.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - Kirby is an abandoned ghost town in southeast Montana. I'm not exactly sure what this building used to be, possibly a post office. I want to come here some night to shoot the aurora since it faces north, but haven't had any opportunities recently. I happened to be driving by at midnight, so I stopped for a few pictures. The tall grass was still soaked from earlier storms.

In 1910 Garfield County had a population of 4,200 people and 47 one or two room schoolhouses scattered across the county.
In the 2010 census, the county had 2,270 people and two schools serving 325 students.
In the early 1940's the school district consolidated all of the small schools to Pomeroy, the only city in the county. The school buildings were either used for other purposes, torn down, burned down or fell down. In one afternoon, we found several of the remaining schoolhouses.
This one is the Kirby Schoolhouse. It was built in 1917, later than many others as the original school building burned down. This schoolhouse was used for many years as a farm outbuilding. Now it is abandoned and surrounded by mounds of wild rose bushes.

I joined my new friend Jamie Baker for an early morning hike down to Kirby Cove.
A trio of fishermen arrived and indicated that we were encroaching upon "their" spot; Jamie and I held our ground and they went elsewhere. I suddenly remembered that all fisherman carry a good knife, so let's say our return to the trailhead was enough indication for me that this was a successful mission. The truth is, I wouldn't have needed to outrun the fishermen, just Jamie...
Down at the end of the beach, I really liked the sheer cliff with trees at the top and knelt down in water for what seemed an eternity waiting for the right wave to come in and tickle these foreground rocks.

It was quite an adventure finding this location. You can read all about it on my latest post.
This was the Kung-Fu Kirby doll i got from Gencon. I was teasing Staedtler with it, but it looks like Kirby is jumping over him, LOL...

This is a sunset I wanted to share from an outing with my friend Ian RZ68 out at Kirby Cove. This candy colored sky lit up the bay nicely that evening. Ian and I were just talking about how we have been lucky this year to have some great sunrises and sunsets. Thanks for checking it out!
Today i take some pics from Kirby. I so love her with her new wig. *_* I'm totally love this blue *_*
West Kirby ... a pretty peaceful prosperous town on the north-west corner of the Wirral Peninsular in the county of Merseyside, across from the Point of Ayr, North Wales. Miles of low-tide beach ... silent, still, uncrowded, devoid of tourist hype & souvenir stands, at least that I could see on the mid-week days I travelled there .... dog walkers, moms with young children (school's not out for summer holidays yet), elderly folk taking in the view from the benches on the victorian promenade. A few runners, one lone sailor on a small boat in the man-made lake that flanks the promenade & its own sea wall. A lovely spot ..... the kids were a bonus *~*

This is why i love that big ring light: nice, clean, even light and those beautiful catchlights in the eyes. Just face...

Although I have lived in Northamptonshire for nearly 40 years I had never visited Kirby Hall until recently. From this angle it looks a beautiful Elizabethan country house, yet much of it is simply a shell.
Kirby Hall was one of the great Elizabethan country houses, located near Gretton, Northamptonshire. It was built for Sir Humphrey Stafford of Blatherwick, beginning in 1570. He had hoped that Queen Elizabeth I would stay here, but in fact she never did. In 1575 the property was purchased by Sir Christopher Hatton of Holdenby, who later became Elizabeth's Lord Chancellor. His descendent Sir Christopher Hatton III had Inigo Jones rebuild Kirby in grand Jacobean style, creating a superb symmetrical house set in stylish formal gardens. The gardens were proudly described by the fourth Sir Christopher Hatton as the finest in England.
The house is now in a semi-ruined state with many parts roof-less although the Great Hall and state rooms remain intact. The gardens with their elaborate ‘cutwork’ design complete with statues and urns have been recently restored. The house remained in the possession of the Hatton family until 1764, though having several other estates they had gradually lost interest in the property and it had started to decay. The house never really recovered. It is currently managed by English Heritage.
