Magnolia, the symbol of purity in some culture. Somehow it appeals to me too. Here is my attempt in capturing the beauty of this awesome flower using my iPhone with the help of an bokeh app. What do you think?
A monochrome view of Duffus Castle
Duffus Castle, near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, was a motte-and-bailey castle and was in use from c.1140 to 1705. During its occupation it underwent many alterations. The most fundamental was the destruction of the original wooden structure and its replacement with one of stone. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland. At the death of the 2nd Lord Duffus in 1705, the castle had become totally unsuitable as a dwelling and so was abandoned.

Although I'm on a creative break right now (as you probably noticed), I wanted to produce something again. It's pretty common for musicians to create a remix of someone else's track. They usually keep certain elements of the original song, but change it in a way that it features their very own signature. It's a really exciting way to create new art.
So why not try this with photography?
This is my Remix of Martin Dietrich's "Of light, shadows and suspicious behavior" (Frankfurt, 2014)

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.
L’opéra Garnier, ou palais Garnier, est un théâtre national qui a la vocation d’être une académie de musique, de chorégraphie et de poésie lyrique ; il est un élément majeur du patrimoine du 9e arrondissement de Paris et de la capitale.

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.
The grandeur of the Vatican is revealed in its details. The dome, the sculptures, the reliefs... each element tells a story, a testimony to the faith and art that come together in this sacred place.
Burghead is a long, sandy beach. At low tide there is vast, wide expanse of sand, but this all but disappears when the tide comes in. It is a popular place for boating as well as for walking along the beach, taking in the scenery.
This part of the Moray coastline is one of the best places in the country for spotting dolphins and even, if you’re very lucky, whales. Behind the beach there are sand dunes as well as a nature reserve. Roseisle Forest lies south of Burghead Beach Caravan Park. It offers a picnic and play area and trails through the scented pinewoods.
