Castles and manor houses even the smaller ones
they can often animate the imagination of the observers, in many ways
often there is a cozy, delightfully romantic and idyllic atmosphere surrounding them
maybe besides we have a (hidden) expectation of a little creepy blended in all this sweet
many of these castles and manor houses do have a spooky historical back, often far back.
This one was disappointing in terms of thrill, there was only “loud silence” idyll
no white lady who haunted mansion with complaining or accusing sounds
no penitent gray knight, who restless wandered there with his rattling chains.
But all in all it was a nice bike ride that summer day of 2013
idyllic atmosphere never gets boring.

The sun is shining too brightly for ghosts on your idyllic day. Looking out of the window it seems far away! 🙂

Vejret ser dejlig ud. ( hope my dansk was correct!) What a gorgeous day in Denmark, and the castle/mansion did not look too bad either. My contribution here: http://forestwoodfolkart.wordpress.com/2013/11/20/daily-prompt-fright-night-haunted-house/

Dit dansk er helt rigtigt… 🙂
Yeah it was perfect, some lovely days back in Denmark… 🙂
Makes me miss it sooo much!
That is beautiful shot, Drake. Glad you did mountain bike on a sunny day… 🙂

Thanks, glad you like it – really appreciates… 🙂
Maybe it would have looked spookier if the weather haven’t been so nice ;). A nice shot, Drake!

Thanks a lot, appreciate you like it
– ah so ghosts don’t like nice weather… 🙂 🙂
I think they function better in fog 😉 (unlike me)
Fog creates a very speciel mood
– sometimes I like it and sometimes not… 🙂
I agree that it can look poetic. I am yet to try taking pics in fog, probably a foggy night, cause now I go to work at dark and I come back home at dark- and I don’t like it one bit and nor do I like the time while I am at work..
What about becoming independent, so you can exchange with your work schedules as I do… 🙂 🙂
Yeah, right!
It would do you well… 🙂
Not here, not now, not in this effing place.
I believe you will find the right time and place… 🙂
¡Magnífica foto, Ledrake!
