Skull

Loch Awe

I swear I did not place this old sheep skull. There it was on the rock in front of the ruin of Kilchurn Castle by Loch Awe.
I was there about 7 in the morning, under a thick blanket of drizzle.
The castle is very old, with the earliest parts dating from about 1450. Today it is a ruin but you can visit and climb some of the walls.
On a sunnier day there would be super views along Loch Awe in one direction and Glen Orchy in the other.

Wonderfully constructed image.

Interesting, somewhat unusual but well captured and nicely composed. Good DOF too with the out-of-focus castle in the bg.

Wonderful composition. If I did not know better, I would think that this was the US, with the skull. You out did yourself on the other images of the castle. Excellent image. V.
