"This place feels so unfamiliar
And yet I know it well
I think I used to belong here
But the only way I can tell
Is that I miss you still
And I cannot find you here"

Whoa C-Note, you are buying them at the wrong place dear, they are only $5

In Canada, I was shocked to pay $12 for the generics.

I want to reach out and touch it. I can imagine what it would have been like in the castle in it's hayday, and even moreso had it been completed. Imagine the historical figures that may have walked through here, and touched these very same walls.

Ahh yes, falling English limestone, much more treacherous than the American counterpart.... =P

Couldn't resist that one

Thanks Lynne, I'm sure my tech lead will love the reason I need a new keyboard, mouse, and monitor is because I spit coffee on the whole setup and I'm pretty sure it's going to die as soon as I'm done typing =P

Sam, the head would have been removed (if in fact it didn't fall off, or become target practice like the Shinx's nose did) well after the castle was built, or somewhat built, as it was not completed. Chances are though, it fell off.

These windows seem out of place. Something so mid-eastern in the middle of something so gothic. Threw me for a loop.

Man, I wish I could rescue the skylights and lattice work from this place. You just don't see that kind of craftsmanship anymore, even in the most expensive, creative mansions. Makes me sad.

I'm pretty sure Weird Woman is correct, I remember seeing things like this when I did remodeling in homes years ago. The heating pipes would be attached to these anchors between the dissipation fins.

C-Note, I have to ask, as a fellow Michigander, what is Piking? I've not been introduced to that term before. Unless you are talking about Pike fishing, I've heard the term used in that regard. If it's something that is not appropriate for this site, PM or email me. Email is my name at gmail dot com.

I take the sister thing back, sorry, I don't believe it was Poe's brother that wrote that book, he wrote House of Leaves which is a title of one of her albums also. Sorry.

Song still is fitting here though =)

Once Navi said 5 1/2 minute hallway, I thought immediately of the song by the same name, done by that authors sister (singers name is Poe). Very fitting. I like this hallway.

The X is obviously where they buried the treasure, duh... Sheesh. If only Motts had peered between the walls, he would be a rich man. tsk tsk tsk

Not claustrophobic, I looked at it again, it increases my anxiety greatly, I really don't know why. Great shot Motts, it's hard to get so big of a reaction out of me from a photo.

I like the picture, but, I don't like the red doors. I can't explain it, but, it puts me in a state of unease or restlessness. The red on violet... Love the layout, hate the colors.

*scrolls up again*

Claustrophobic, that's how it makes me feel, I can't explain it, it's the red on violet for some reason. Maybe I have issues... /shrug

Is it sick that this picture makes me giddy? I love the shutter, it looks like a mini-door. I don't know why, but, this picture makes me smile, and laugh a little inside. And to clarify, it's NOT because it was a seclusion room, it has EVERYTHING to do with the shutters. I love it.

*again, anyone seen my meds?*
