The Black Earl's Palace - for sartorias

[shewhomust]

By special request...

Not exactly, as for some reason I don't have a photo of Durham Castle to hand. Here, instead, is a picture of the Earl's Palace in Kirkwall, which just happened to be the next picture from our holiday waiting to be uploaded.

It was built at the very beginning of the seventeenth century for the Wicked Earl Patrick Stewart (who may or may not have been wickeder than his contemporaries, but he's the one who got stuck with the reputation), also known as "Black Patie".

Oh wow, that is so nifty. I would LOVE to see the inside of that place. WOW.

Well, I took probably only too many photos! And I've started uploading them to Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/she_who_must/), so feel free to look around.

I love those--especially doorways and windows, and what one sees through them. Thanks!

Ok, just for posting that picture, I'm already sold that you and I should meet.

Sorry - not to creep anyone out or anything; rosefox, who is a friend of sartorias, pointed you, shewhomust, out to me and said that I should consider myself introduced. I live in Durham too and was wondering who was around here.

Care to meet for coffee at some point?

Sure; I'll recognise you from your icon, will I? (Heh - and you'll recognise me from mine...)

E-mail me: jean at shadowgallery.co.uk, I'm sure we can think of a plan...
