Dappled and Tiled

Culzean Castle, Ayrshire, Scotland.

Culzean Castle is a true fairy tale National Trust Castle on the Ayrshire coast. It is a huge place with beautifully manicured gardens complete with a fountain in front of the main facade. An outrageously beautiful dappled sky ensures that the foreground doesn't overpower the castle beyond and allows your eyes to be conducted on an appealing walk through the picture. It was a devil of a job waiting for this scene to clear of tourists though.

Culzean Castle is beautiful and a wonderful place to visit. Love the picture. The castle was the home of my husband's ancestors (Kennedy)so we relish any pictures and history about the Castle.

This is a very inviting shot, both the color and scenery. Nice control of the contrast and lighting as well. GMV

Outstanding. Even better than your excellent March 27th version of the same scene. Voted.
