Four specially commissioned sculptural seats by John Kennedy on the infamous A939 Lecht Road which sits at 637m above sea level offers spectacular views towards Corgarff Castle. Corgarff Castle was originally built in 1550 by the Forbes clan and has been a site of great significance for several tumultuous events throughout its history. Though small in scale, the white-harled Castle stands in stark isolation from its surroundings and has a monumental and evocative presence in an otherwise almost uninhabited landscape.
The Watchers installation has a significant relationship with the Castle, which was already established by the existing standing stone sculpture `A Moment in Time` by Louise Gardiner which was designed to frame telescopic views of the Castle. The Watchers adds some new but similar formed cowels clustered on the hillside close to the existing standing stone.
These contain seating and provide hooded shelters for individuals in a wind and snow-swept environment.
Each cowl is formed like origami from folded sheets of steel.
As a group, the cowls contribute to the evocative atmosphere of the site.
The abstract nature of these enveloping cowls invites various interpretation as to what they might be: a henge, a herd on a hillside, armoured figures, helmets, a group of martial figures, tents, crows, ruins, standing stones or whisky stills....
Teamwork..............Dave Constable had his shots in the bag and was giving out welcome black coffee (thanks Dave) , an anonymous lady and her headlights on foreground lighting, me on the timer and a fieldmouse at my feet, checking composition. We had a great time at Reculver............:-) The red lights on the horizon are warning lights of the local windfarm.
Novigrad na Dobri is now little village along the river Dobra and the historical roads Karolina (1726th to 1732nd), situated in a beautiful valley underfloor the once important fortified medieval town of the same name. Even earlier, the whole place, including a castle and a parish, simply called Dobra, after the river that flows through it. At the edge of the Novigrad place passages and other old roads, Louisiana (1803rd to 1811th), and since 2001 a beautiful view of the vote and the surrounding area is provided with the highway Zagreb - Rijeka.
Wonderful viewpoint near Santander, Spain, the trail is a bit muddy after rain, but it's short and easy. Atlantic ocean at right, Picos de Europa mountains in the distance.
With the Isle of Portland in the distance, this view is taken between Lulworth and Durdle Door, a few miles further east than some of my previous photos across Weymouth Bay.

The Viewpoint is along the Icefields Parkway, about 5 km south of Abathasca Falls. It overlooks the Athabasca River & among other peaks, Mount Fryatt. We did not see any goats when we visited this site one afternoon in August.

Carreg Cennen Castle, Brecon Beacons National Park, Powys, Wales, UK
Carreg Cennen Castle (Welsh: Castell Carreg Cennen meaning castle (on the) rock (above the) Cennen) is a castle near the River Cennen, in the village of Trap, four miles south of Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The castle is within the Brecon Beacons National Park, and its location has been described as spectacular, due to its position above a limestone precipice. It has been in a ruinous state since 1462 and is now in the care of Cadw, the Welsh Government historic environment service.

This viewing scope at Ballyholme Bay has rested here broken for many years. It serves to remind us to take the time to look around and enjoy the beautiful world around us.
While at Point Defiance’s 5-Mile Drive I stopped at a viewpoint overlooking the Puget Sound. Included in the view is a lone boat and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, also known as Galloping Gurtie. The original bridge fell in high winds and these twin bridges do close when winds get too high.
Taken at: Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, Washington State, USA
