Are you in the mood for a tip? Stay with me for a moment. Todays TIP: If you didn’t forget to change the year in the copyright info inside your camera, please do it now! Yes we are still in the city limits and believe it or not this is taken in Chicago. For those of you city folks who didn’t recognize this place, this is the Garden Of the Phoenix and for those of you who are planing to visit, this is one of the most beautiful hidden spots. It is unbelievable how much perspective shifts if you allow yourself to roam around a bit. What do you think?

“If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old.” - Peter F. Drucker

Mottes were common in Scotland the 1100s and 1200s, before they were replaced by stone castles. They were fortifications, usually consisting of a wooden keep on top of an artificial earthwork mound. Some also had an enclosed courtyard or bailey, containing additional wooden buildings, protected by a ditch and palisade.

Duffus Castle was a fortress–residence for more than 500 years, from the 1100s to the 1700s. The stone castle we see today was built in the 1300s, replacing an earlier timber fortress.

Once one of the strongest castles in Scotland, it was reduced to a decaying ruin by the time of its abandonment in 1705. But the castle remains an impressive sight, situated on a mound rising out of the flat Laich of Moray.
