This week's theme of "Corner" got me thinking.
📸 This Week’s Photo Quest: Corner
Capture hidden edges, quiet spots, and overlooked places.
Usually we think of corners just as the point where two walls meet.
But first let's have a wee story ....
While wandering through the historic ruins of Aberdour Castle, I found a different kind of quiet corner...
One that was carved straight out of centuries of Scottish stone.
Tucked into a cool, shadowed alcove of Aberdour castle, this deep window opening frames the terraced walled gardens outside. It gives a perfect sightline over the lawn towards the famous 16th-century beehive doocot in the distance (when the fluffing photographer actually puts it in the picture!).
The rough-hewn stone edges and ancient window corners create a natural frame, catching the summer light while helping us gaze into a piece of history hidden away in a peaceful nook of Fife.
Remember I said doocot .... it looks like the giant beehive ...
I actually made a post about this doocot which you read in The Doo, Dove, Doocot Collection
should you wish to see more info on it!
Way cool, so I say myself!
Thanks for the great prompt @qurator!
