How’s your week going so far? We spent last two days anticipating the snow storm that was all over the news. You can guess what happened, for a sec it looked exciting but all of that went away in a matter of hours :) So in case you are wondering this is how Chicago looks like with the mood turned on! What do you think?
I've had moments like this, walking through woodland at night fills me with anxiety but at the same time so much fun.

All you need is water and sustinance, with a touch of atmosphere to bring out the nature in us all. No longer bold but free spirited and lifting.

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.
By 1350, the castle had passed to a younger son of the Earl of Sutherland through marriage. It may have been then that the keep was abandoned, possibly because it was beginning to slip down the mound, and a new residence established at the north of the bailey.
Viscount Dundee, leader of the first Jacobite Rising, dined in the castle as a guest of James, Lord Duffus in 1689, prior to his victory against King William II’s government forces at Killiecrankie. Soon after, Lord Duffus moved to the nearby Duffus House. The castle quickly fell into decay.

Landschaftspark Duisburg 7.
The Landschaftspark is a public park in the German city of Duisburg. The center of the park is formed by the ruin of a blast-furnace complex shut down in 1985.
Good morning, everyone! I hope you’re all doing great. Last weekend was an absolute blast—I spent the day exploring the University of Chicago campus, capturing some incredible infrared shots. We covered a ton of ground, and I’m so excited to finally share the results with you all! There’s something about shooting in infrared that brings out these surreal, almost dreamlike vibes, and this place was the perfect backdrop for it. Can’t wait to hear what you think! Enjoy the shot, and drop a comment if you have any questions or just want to say hey! Cheers!
