Midhurst Castle Hill

The remains of a motte and bailey castle - just the man-made earthworks and hill remains. Lots (for us!) of unmelted snow and ice.

Annie challenged me to make a high contrast, black and white composition. Into the sun, long shadows, rarely seen afternoon snow seemed to fit the bill.

Nice long shadows.

@annied saw it, knew would work for your challenge

@wakelys it was very icy, not a good idea to go with a friend who is incapacitated with an arm in a tight sling!!! 😮

[Lesley Aldridge]

You have certainly fulfilled the brief, cracking photo.
