Thanks for the wonderful comments, Carolyn, Allan, Joy, Stanley, Kristen, K, Paul, Colette, Wally, Rob, and Marie! I really appreciate them:-) Yes, Allan, you can call me Queen Sepia; I don't mind at all -ha! ha! I love the simplicity of black and white in some instances and the sepia uses that same philosophy, but casts a warmer tone. I love it almost as much as dreamy photo! LOL! This castle was fantastic! We spent the better part of a day exploring the inside, outside, and courtyards. It is in tremendous condition for its age...they first broke ground for this castle in the 11th century! (And now it's got a set of train tracks running behind it!) #520790
