Kilmeady Castle, Milstreet Ireland
Hadleigh Castle, Essex UKThe theme for this week's Photo Hunt is ruin(ed). There's no stretching the theme this week as I have some ruined castle shots that fit the bill. Actually I'm not sure I will actually sign up at tnchick's this week as I am indisposed until Sunday evening. If I get the chance then I will.

Now that's an early post!
Both good shots. I've no idea yet what I'll be posting.
That lower shot is splendid.
I am doing a castle also.
Aileni, Dragonstar. Thanks. I'll be back on Sunday to see your entries
Both are great shots but I am a sucker for black n white so I think the top one is my fav. :)
After these building being ruined only get famous and a lot of people want to visit.
I think you could have put in the ruined shots as well. Quite atmospheric, these ones, by the way.
I was born and brought up near Hadleigh castle. As a very young boy I was very excited at the thought there was a castle nearby.
My first (and only) visit to the place may be the biggest anticlimax of my life - I had visions of battlements, moats, drawbridges, etc. and found a small pile of rocks.
Your photo actually makes it look more impressive than I remember it!
Those are wonderful ruins and you photographed them well.
Love your choices for the theme, the b/w picture is very dramatic, the second one is beautiful!
Have a nice weekend, wherever you are!
I love both of those. Ruins are so beautiful! Hope you have/had a nice weekend.
great shots. love those ruins. take care. hope you feel better.
Great shots Jams! Perfect for the theme :)
Great photos :-)
It looks as though there's a lot missing from that second castle!
That second shot is lovely. Love the sky and its background.
you guys have so much cool old stuff james, I love the photo. I did photos from italy.
Beautiful shots both. Love the sky and surroundings in the Hadleigh Castle picture but the Irish one is the one that has me intrigued -- i.e., is that the home of its caretaker by it or...?
Excellent photos Jams. Lots of ruins in your part of the world. I had to scan some from my pre-digital days.
I haven't signed up at tnchick's for ages as I play Friday and always forget on Saturday when I am so busy.
Have g good weekend.
Nice ones! My ruined Irish castle shots are from my pre-digital days and stuck in the top of a closet. So I chose something else... Here's mine:

Have a great weekend!
I guess there's no shortage of ruined castles in Ireland and England.... the second one is amazing, it looks like someone sliced the castle open like a piece of cheese!
Fantastic shots. One of the failings of Australia is that there are not too many of these splendid ruins. We do have nice weather and the beer is cold. Can't have everything I suppose.
Lovely shots - I especially like the second one - what a sky!
What perfect photos for this week's theme. I especially like the second photo - the contrast of the ruin against sky and fields - excellent!
I'm glad you didn't "stretch" the theme; those are the kind of ruins I love! :) Hope you have a happy weekend! (I hesitate every single week to sign up on tnchick's blog, I hardly ever manage more than a handful visits. But hey, that is life! So don't worry about it...
I love these!!!!!!!!!
Thanks everyone. I will; try to visit later
