Wowza! The word "ominous" was invented specifically so it could be used about this picture! That raggedy old castle is looking at us all cross-eyed, and there are stone monks walking along the rims of the castle . . .

"But he grew old -
This knight so bold -
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado."

Damn you! Nah. I knew you'd get it. It's probably the most easily recognizable of all of Poe's *moment of silence* works. I actually haven't read Lovecraft, have you? I need to. I love the macabre.

Gods I Want it *LOL*

Remarkable! Fantastic picture. It looks like a painting out of a storybook. Another pic for the castle calendar.

Yep, weasel, we want Motts to do calendars and/or coffee table books on lonely chair and hallway shots, as well. One on castles would be grand, too!

I agree with weasel and LI Irish; this pic is something out of the opening, say, of a Gothic horror film. Startling.

POE ROCKS!!!!!

Wallpaper please!

The picture alone is breathtaking - I can hardly imagine what it must have been like to approach such an imposing, beautiful structure in real life.

Breathtaking!

"it stands alone silent and forgotten wating for that curious one to look and fall in love with how it grows old with grace."
