There is a competition between the cloud and the castle: Wo is more beautiful? The clouds are transient whereas the castle stands there for ages - a fantastic view from there- a gorgeous photo- you have won the competition - and you survived the non-vertical climb so we can expect more photos from Dunstanburgh Castle - PLEASE!
Alan: Thank you, Philine. I've often said that some cloud is important for a photo; a plain blue sky looks bland to me. This has the right balance for me and, as your rightly, say both are beautiful. Clouds will be here for ever (I hope!) but I guess the castle will eventually crumble but not in our lifetimes.
Being the people watcher that I am, I like seeing the people way down on the ground. It gives the whole shot scale. Really excellent shot, as usual, Alan.
Alan: Thanks, Mary. It is a popular destination for walkers. There's a few sheep there, too
