BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: TRACES OF THE PAST Y4-04

This is the only Black & White Sunday this month, and I decided that it should be Traces of the Past (the recurrent photo challenge on this blog). Here is one of the most beautiful landmarks of Northumberland – the famous Bamburgh Castle. The day I took this photo it glistened nicely in late, golden sunlight, but for this opportunity I decided to show it in silvery tones i.e. in black and white.  

Don’t feel bad if there are no old buildings in your surroundings, past can be found in many forms, not just architecture.  I count on your original interpretations to prove that. Take your time responding to the challenge and most of all HAVE FUN!

    I have finally reached a point where I know I’m not going to find a single castle. It’s just not going to happen. So I shall have to find other old things 🙂 But the castles are so totally cool!

    YOur photo captures the beauty not only of the castle, but its surroundings. Stunning Paula. Here’s mine this week. My thoughts are at the beach, in an attempt to ignore the freezing cold temps outside, when it should be spring!! https://dailymusing57.com/2018/04/18/black-white-sunday-traces-of-the-past-9/

    I really should go way north to see some of the splendours it has to offer, but as it tends to be cool and damp I’ll enjoy your photos instead. Mines definitely not architecture 🙂 https://lucidgypsy.com/2018/04/18/ghostly-traces/
