A serene view of the historic ruins adjacent to Leeds Castle, showcasing the remnants of an ancient stone structure partially covered in ivy and vegetation. The foreground features a lush, overgrown moat filled with ferns, shrubs, and dense greenery, creating a sense of natural reclamation. The stone walls and archways of the ruins stand prominently against a backdrop of mature trees and a well-maintained lawn.

Touch it and I will end you.โ€

A black bird stands on a stone surface near water, with a small piece of red packaging visible nearby. The stone is covered in black and white lichen.  The birdโ€™s left eye is pale blue, a hue even more vivid than the water behind. Its expression is truly fierce as it appears to dare the observer to touch the red packet.

Kent holds many great places and once you'll make it to Leeds Castle and its surroundings in Maidstone, Kent, you will be remembered on #Avalon when walking through this park!

Already mentioned in William the Conqueror's #domesdaybook and being a retreat for Henry VIII. hundreds of years later, Leeds Castle has a fixed place in English history.

This image features a tranquil park scene with a river or canal running through it. Both sides of the water are lined with lush weeping willows, their branches and leaves hanging down towards the water surface, creating a dramatic and soothing natural canopy. The river's banks are well-manicured, and there's a bridge visible in the background which crosses the river. The setting appears to be very peaceful, typically found in a park or botanical garden designed for relaxation and enjoyment of nature.

This #happy little nerd #window at #LeedsCastle was looking forward to #FensterFreitag all week! ๐Ÿค“

#WindowFriday #Fenster #ISeeFaces #pareidolia #Pareidolie
A dimly lit room with an arched window featuring two tall, narrow panes that resemble eyes with glasses. The window is flanked by wooden panels studded with metal, and two orange pillows sit on either side. A red rope hangs in front, suggesting a mouth-like shape, completing the illusion of a smiling face.

A fun day out at #LeedsCastle (Kent) today. A chilly day in the fog, but the birds of prey demonstration was impressive.

The image displays Leeds Castle, situated near Maidstone in England. It's a historical castle with stone construction featuring multiple towers and turrets that suggest it was built for defense as well as residence. The structure is reflected beautifully on the still water of a moat surrounding part of its grounds.

In the foreground, greenery indicates lush vegetation around the base of the castle. Above the scene, there's clear sky suggesting fair weather conditions during this photograph session which appears to be from late 19th or early 20th century given the style and quality of print.

The coloration is reminiscent of chromolithographic prints commonly used in that era for their ability to capture a wide range of colors. The photo seems professionally taken, capturing not only architectural details but also the picturesque setting which makes it an appealing image even today.

For #ThrowbackThursday here's a photo from the very first digital camera we ever owned - a Fujifilm Finepix 2200 - and a visit to Leeds Castle to try it out in 2003. Great maze at the castle as I recall.

We've still got the camera but no ability to charge it right now. If I ever pick up a suitable device for that then I'll have to play around with the camera again just for the sake of nostalgia.

It's an overcast day and we're on a tarmac road or path beside a curving moat around a plot of land on which there is a stately home with turrets and crenellations along its light grey stone walls. A long wall curves to follow the path of the flat moat and some creepers and bushes are dotted here and there along its length. A thin tree with plenty of leaves is on our side of the water to the left adding a foreground point of interest. In the background, mostly to the right beyond the moat we can see green fields and trees.

@medieval_illuminations I was looking for images of medieval #bathing facilities recently, as the accounts of the #LadyOfClare tell us she installed a "stew", which I imagine as a bathroom with hot tub similar to the re-creation at #LeedsCastle. I saw several similar tubs, but no others shared with a dragon!
