So many of us could round the corner to this exact spot and NOT get the beauty out of it that you do Motts. I can't stop looking at this one. LOL

That does look like the bleached bones of a skeleton laying there on the ground.

I hope they save that "rose" window. It has to be saved!

Nice colors!

It's so sad that such an amazing castle has to come down. I understand that it's probably beyond hope to fix. I just hope that they keep at least some of the stained glass and other things for a museum or something.

that stained glass is gorgeous. Wish I had that in my house

Absolutely gorgeous.

This reminds me of the place where Cloud stays in the Final Fantasy Advent Children movie... this picture is amazing.

that rose window is awesome, too bad that someone does not do something to preserve the treasures before they are torn down.

It is a sin to let that go to waste. Even if the building is irreparable the stained glass window ought to be saved.

gave me chills

Imagine what this must have looked like in its prime! I mean, its beautiful now, even with all the decay. How horrible it is to let something like this go to waste.

How can something of such beauty be tossed aside with an impression of disconcern...reality, never a close companion, finally slipped away one dark night.
