Like a water tank
Like a turreted castle
Crumbling memory

Sylvia K said...: That really is an fascinating building and I agree it looks like a castle. Whatever it is, you got a great shadow shot! Love your words, they're haunting and beautiful.; June 21, 2009 8:37 AM
Sweet Repose said...: Finally home from work...I'm pooped, but had to check your shadow out and what an interesting little structure, evokes all kinds of mystery and magic...makes you wonder what spirits live there still and what childish imagination would build such a structure.

Wouldn't it have been fun as a child to be the princess of this keep, imagine the beautiful ponies we would have ridden all 'round the grounds...

Always the child at heart, how 'bout you friend.

Hey Harriet said...: What a funny little discovery. The building looks like it is on the verge of collapsing judging by the tilt of it. Unless you've tricked me and took the photo at an odd angle! It's a wonderfully unusual shadow shot Gemma! :); June 21, 2009 2:24 PM
