Castles are cool. Reminds me that there was time when people didn't have electricity. They used to build stuff with bricks and they've last hundreds and sometimes thousands of years, stuff they build now barely has a 50 year life span.
Rhodes.
Czech Republic.
Romania.
Hungary.
Turkey.

I wish my photos from my travels through Europe were digital and not film as visiting castles was what I did most.
Great thread Jak.
