Corfe Castle, Dorset.

Corfe Castle has been part of the Purbeck landscape for nearly a thousand years. Built by William the Conqueror in the eleventh century, it remained a Royal castle until the reign of Elizabeth I until it was destroyed in the English Civil War. It is still a wonderful sight, towering above the village of Corfe Castle.

It is always nice to see such testimonies of previous generations or cultures.
At the same time, however, it is also depressing.
Since the clash of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, there have been wars.
The recent past and the present are no better.
I'm afraid the race man will never learn to live in peace on this planet - unfortunately...

These ruins are truly impressive and steeped in history.

In addition, this castle had to be even more imposing before its destruction !!!!!!

A spectacular ruin, Rosa. I love the wee wispy clouds. I love also the very interesting information you have provided. I seem to remember you photographed a station and this castle was in the background. Cheers, Joe

Fotografías con buen encuadre, color y distintas focales, que en tres instantáneas actuales, tras el paso de incontables hojas del calendario, atestiguan este castillo dentro de la historia.

I first visited Corfe Castle in the early fifties and haven't seen it since the early sixties. So it is lovely to have your excellent images to remind me of the stature of these old ruins. Thank you Rosa ~ Stay Safe

It's been around 10 years since I last visited these beautiful ruins.........when I was there for a sunrise shoot.

The castle still looks splendid..........especially on a sunny day like you had. I like the perspective in the main image and the ruins look stunning against the sky. The detail you've captured is excellent.

I like the wider view in the PiPs as well.........it's good to see people getting out and enjoying themselves. Great work as always.
