I took this picture during my first trip to the UK. It was a business trip, but fortunately we were able to spend a couple of days doing tourist-y things. The first Saturday we went to
Warwick Castle (where I took the previously posted
Avon Bridge photograph), traditional seat of the
Earls of Warwick and a fully restored castle now being run by the
Tussauds Group, in the morning and then after a lunch of fish and chips (I love me some fish and chips and if someone would open a good ship shop in Houston I would probably eat there once a week) we went to
Kenilworth Castle. In contrast to the corporate environment of
Warwick Castle,
Kenilworth is a ruin managed by the
English Heritage.
It was an absolutely perfect fall day with a pretty clear sky and as the day wore on towards evening the light started to take on this ethereal feeling that only enhanced the majesty of the red sandstone ruins. It is a beautiful place that I would like to spend more time photographing and getting to know.
This picture was taken on 800 ISO
Kodak film stock with my
Vivitar 220SL camera with a 135mm 1:2.8 lens also from
Vivitar.
