Castle Stalker

[ < | > ]

Contax Aria, 85mm, Fuji Velvia

Probably the most elusive castle in the Scottish Highlands, the experience of trying to get a good photographic view of it
reminded me very much of Kafka's Castle. All the coastal paths that led close to the castle were made impassable by huge puddles
caused by days of relentless, torrential rain. Private estates and fenced-off grazing pastures, as well as rusty wire fences
prevented easy access to the castle. In the end, one had to make do with a long lens over a closed gate, a
considerable distance from the castle itself. And it is still questionable whether it was worth the effort.
