I must admit, I thought this was the point of this competition. You get the brief, then you go out and take a photo that fulfills that brief. Rather than dig out a photo fro the archives...

Yeah I think it pretty much is but when the topic is waterfalls or something and people don't have one anywhere near then older ones result. I got lazy last year and was using some of mine, gonna try harder anyway

Unfortunately, there aren't many castles around Ruislip. So I've submitted one I took in the summer. But if I get the opportunity to visit a castle before the competition ends I might change it.

To Elephant & Castle is less than 20 miles - and you get a free elephant!

This.

I know I've bored Mr C about it before but next to Moreton Corbet Castle is Moreton Corbet church, where I got married to Lady Poppy (20 years ago this year). Small world.

Bit of a long day trip for you Fenjer! We enjoyed it too but the weather was a bit blustery and cloudy. Was hoping to get a nice reflection shot with blue sky behind it but it was not to be that day and we were staying too far away to pop back.

I'm waiting for some smarty pants that lives within the borders of England to post a picture of their house

I am lucky with this topic as I can pass 3 castles on my way to work, I've just got to find an interesting way to shoot them.

House.... I should be so lucky.

Actually, I've realised there are two castles within travelling distance of Ruislip. Windsor Castle and the Tower of London. But it's going to be hard to get an interesting shot of either without a crowd of tourists in the foreground.
