Woman in Blue at The Witchery

Not the picture I went out for but shot in passing.

A lovely day weather wise. After dinner watched the castle from the kitchen window. It seems to float, lit up in a warm glow at night above the street lights below. Ah, what about a shot from the courtyard all lit up? Nice walk up with the tripod and could get a nice picture.

Off I set.

"Can't go in.", said the security guard as he blocked my way from the view of large numbers of people up in front of the castle.

"Them's da rules. Wait a mo", as he queried a taxi arriving and waved in as as he was informed, "picking someone up".

"Who canI ask for permission?"

"Can't get permission. No permission from nobody."

A few taxi arrivals later and quite a few more "Them's da rules" he says he can onlt let people into the esplanade from 9 to 6.30. "Come back at 9".

"Not much of a night shot eh?", but he must have missed my comment.

"Them's da rules."

Shook his hand and thanked him for his troubles.

Maybe I should wait until it's dark by 6pm.

Night's are fair drawing in.
