Description Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island in Northumberland. Holy Island is accessible only at low tide, twice daily, by a three mile long causeway, built in 1954. Holy Island was one of the principle centres of Christianity during the Dark Ages and was given to St Aidan in AD635 by the King of Northumbria. Even more famous and influential was St Cuthbert, whose life and teaching was a magnet for pilgrims. He died in AD 687 and was initially buried in the church, but later his remains were moved to Durham Cathedral.

great picture (again)! I love the birds in the big puddle in the foreground, it really gives a lot of life to the image (and a nice color juxtaposition).

The only thing that comes to mind is that the castle looks a bit pale on my screen, maybe you could dodge/burn (I always forgot which one is which, sorry, I have the German version of PS) the background a little to give it more contrast.

But, ah, Scotland... You're images really make me wanna hop on a boat and fly over...

Thanks for all those comments, very much appreciated.

Have a look now and see what you think. The original image that was posted is now linked in the comment box.

Ahh so you are going to come over and visit in a "flying boat".

Good

I just wish the sky had a bit more life in it, but you can't win them all.

yep No, first I wrote plane, but I couldn't find a plane-related smiley, changed it to boat, because the pirate fitted and then I forgot to change the boat-thing
On the other hand, would a hover boat count? Mmh...
I'll have a look at the picture now.
PS: Just came back from our walk, your assignment on my mind, I'll post it later, this is fun!

I though it was something like that, often do that myself.

Walk, been on dA since I got up at 0700 this moring trying to catch up on yesterdays shoot stuff and answer all the messages. But the sun it out and it's dry, so maybe an afternoon one for me today.
