THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: TRACES OF THE PAST Y3-09

“Historic Scotland calls Hermitage Castle an eerie ruin, and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland calls it the most perfect example of a medieval castle in the Borders. It is both.”

I am too lazy today to write a few sentences about this beautiful castle/ruin that I visited briefly during my last holiday. Instead, I am offering a link to an article that might satisfy your curiosity.

Traces of the Past is a recurrent photo challenge that happens every month (one month in colour as part of Thursday’s Special and the following month in black and white as part of Black & White Sunday). You are free to choose whatever traces of the past you can find. It does not have to be a distant one, or rich in history; it can be something personal, or it can even have a human form. Just make sure to post for it before next Thursday and to link to this blog. Happy Thursday! 

 

Please have a look at all the marvelous entries:

  2. Very classic and very early medieval. This was when they were simple, round stone building, before they started turning them into an entire village. We saw a couple of buildings like that in Ireland, but smaller. Some of them were closer to the size of a silo. Great shot!

  10. I’ve just been to the link. Gosh! You would not guess the place has such a very dark history from the tranquillity of this scene. A fine shot, Paula, above a drift of rosebay willow herb. It usually grows vigorously where there has been a lot of ground disturbance and/or fire – hence its common name Fire Weed. I’m sorry you received more than you fair share of grizzly British weather on your trip, but here it adds some drama. Happy Thursday.

    • Thank you for sharing that with me, Tish. It looks too pretty to be called Fire Weed ;). I wanted to know the real Britain, and the weather helped in that respect. I am so very glad that you like the capture.

  24. traces of the past…inspires me to contemplate that while the blossoms, trees, clouds are of today, are they not also traces of their past? Beautiful landscape.

  26. Lovely photo and information, Paula. How wonderful that you were able to visit Scotland. That’s one of the places I have always dreamed of visiting but never had the opportunity. Enjoyed the music! 😀
