So how is your weekend going? We are having a blast teaching, learning and socializing here at Out Of Chicago Live. It is a ton of fun. After looking at some of the inspiring videos I thought I should try doing something creative today for myself. What do you think?
...la nostra prima tappa ci porta in questo piccolo paese della Bourgogne, Braux. Sosteremo qui per tre giorni.
Sembra un pò spettrale al nostro arrivo ma è solo un impressione 😅
This is one of my favourite locations and the subject for my project 'Duffus Castle through the seasons'

Duffus Castle was a motte-and-bailey castle in use from c.1140 to 1705. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland.
At the beginning of the 12th century Moray was ruled by Angus, grandson of Lulach Macgillecomgan, who had succeeded Macbeth as King of Scots in 1057. Angus rebelled in 1130 and King David I began to populate the province with nobles. Among them was Freskin, of Flemish background, who built the great earthwork and timber motte-and-bailey castle in c. 1140.
Freskin’s direct line ended in 1270 and the castle passed into the ownership of Sir Reginald le Chen. With his death in 1345, Duffus passed to his daughter Mariot who was married to Nicholas, son of the 4th Earl of Sutherland. The Sutherlands were also descended from Freskyn and remained in their possession until 1705 when the castle was abandoned.

I had such a hard time getting this photo just right to upload!!! It really didn't look like what I had finished in my editing, but came out super dark on flickr... Hard to know what you can rely on when doing your editing and posting, especially if you don't see the image on flickr the same as your final edit. Wonder what you see. I don't know if anyone has come across the same issue.
