I was there in 2000 (one of my favorite places during a two-week visit to the UK) and the tower was locked up tight due to instability and falling chunks of masonry. Lucky you to be able to get up there and take this gorgeous shot. Lovely. :)

Thank you very much.

They appear to have done even more strengthening work on the main tower so that people can get up there to look, but of course there are many sections up there that were once open that never will be again. The history of this castle fascinated me and I felt so alive when I was there.

Ah, you're welcome; it's a lovely shot. There was definitely something enigmatic about the atmosphere there. Hard to put words to, obviously, but I find it curious that everyone I've ever talked with whose been there was affected by it in some way.

Completely. I found It hard to leave the place actually. I spent an hour and a half there and although my partner was happy to go round with me to everywhere I could get to, my parents were not so thrilled by the end of it.

i'm still in love with this photo.
