HWW from Laura's Towers at Shrewsbury Castle

The tower was built as a folly by Thomas Telford c. 1790 for Laura, the daughter of Sir William Pulteney as a summer house. The walls of Laura's tower are built of sandstone which has varying degrees of hardness, so it's possible to see erratic weathering of the stone.

The weathering on the stone gave the tower some smoothness, making these HWW even more beautiful, and so are your photos: beautiful+++++++++

I'm not really into this HWW thing, but I do like the look of this beautiful old folly. The colour of the stonework is lovely and I really like the stone has weathered and changed over the years.

Two superb images Amelia.
