Should have been flying this morning, but other stuff to do.
Going to do some sanding soon.

I was already to fly sunrise,   and it was looking golden and lovely and then the fog dropped,   and Im not in the mood to risk freezing fog today.

Right, that is an issue.

Brilliant shot - like the slightly washed out look. Very good!

And sadly Id got held up with chores so I missed the best of the frost.    Stopped there to get a fog shot earlier,  but the time Id got into position the fog and rolled in more and the castle was no where to be seen.

Your timing must have been all wrong, that morning

2 walks and a trip to the art gallery.  we were curious how many other pieces have sold and what they were.     Got there a tad early and as they were letting the staff in the lady recognised us and let us in early too.   She later came and found us with proper colour brochures to replace the temporary ones they gave out on the preview night which was really nice of her as they usually sell them.

She also confirmed who had bought my piece and our theory was indeed correct.

A satisfactory outcome to that episode, then

Yes,   and she also answered a question I had about doing a full exhibition there,   although Im not sure she was right.  lol

thanks DT,  I have since saved the frame properly from the video as a tiff in case I want to make a higher quality version.

There's an exhibition there at the moment that I feel I could at least equal the quality of,   so I was curious,   but not in the short term as Ive got too many other things on at the moment.

Looks like a prestigious place

That's where my other piece is currently on display.   It's the biggest art gallery in the county I think.

You're most welcome DA.  Good idea because that shot could be a candidate for the month show reel.

Great choice for sure.  

You look at that and you can't help but wonder just how warm the place was back in the day.
Good news about the short listing eh.

Fun fact,  to the right of the shot,  just past the tree in the middle right of the frame used to be a pond,  fed by a stream which is still there,  that's where they famed fish to be eaten at the castle.
