I love seeing these old ruins, though it somehow stabs my soul. I can imagine what a home such as this looked like in it's useful days, in all it's glory and strength. With the current turmoil going on in the world, the security of those thick walls would bring much comfort, in spite of the cold and drafty winters.
Well, off I go to daydream :-)
