Castle Mound

This is the north side of the mound at Corfe Castle: the angle of the sunlight is highlighting the striations on the mound, a feature which is usually difficult to discern.  Perhaps this has been caused by centuries of animals grazing there.

Behind the gate and heading straight up the mound is a steep footpath used by some visitors.  It won't get them into the castle, though!


There are some oddities in colour, this is because I was photographing almost directly towards the sun.
