Lone trees clinging to impossible rocky crags are a bit of a Yorkshire Dales cliché, but hey, they still make great subjects! We're staying close enough to this locality to visit it under different lighting conditions, this was in early evening direct sunlight so there were lots of shadows. Want to revisit in a softer but not too flat light.

Das Münster, auch Münsterbasilika genannt, ist die katholische Hauptkirche in Bonn und ein Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Es wurde im 11. Jahrhundert als romanische Stiftskirche St. Cassius und Florentius des Cassius-Stifts erbaut. Nach der Säkularisation des Stiftes am Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts und dem Abriss der benachbarten Pfarrkirche St. Martin im Jahr 1812 kam das Münster in den Besitz der Pfarre St. Martin. Seit 1956 trägt das Münster den Titel Basilica minor.
St Peter's Kirk stands south of the road leading to Gordonstoun School about a quarter of a mile east of the village of Duffus. It is sometimes referred to as St Peter's Church; as Duffus Old Parish Church; as Duffus Old Kirk; or just as Peter Kirk.
THE HORSMEN
“What lies behind us, and what lies before us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Are you in for a tip? This winter is slowly coming to an end, at least we hope so :) The word is out that there is still few snow days left ahead of us so I thought that one more snow shooting tip might come useful. THE TIP: Since almost all cameras will underexpose your image while shooting snow it is safe to manually overexpose your image in most occasions. To be on a safer side I always bracket my exposures, in one step increments, in those situations. What do you think?

Morning Sunlight
( #Yangshuo, #Guangxi, #China. #Photograph by #GustavoThomas © 2020)
I was there, on the top of the tallest hill in Yangshuo, since 4 AM. This is the 7:30 am sunlight over the mountainous landscape, and nothing more spectacular that the clouds opening for the sun to show all over the valley.

Part of my 'Duffus Castle through the seasons' project.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
