From the archives, because of weather and other commitments i've not had the chance to get out there and do more photography.


INFO:

Housesteads is the most complete example of a Roman fort in Britain, and now the most popular site on the Wall. It stands high on the exposed Whin Sill escarpment, commanding breathtaking views. Like Chesters, it was one of 12 permanent forts added to his new frontier by Hadrian in about AD 124. Known as 'Vercovicium' ('the place of effective fighters'), it was garrisoned by a cohort of around 800 infantry (for most of its history Tungrians from Belgium), later reinforced by Germanic cavalry.

PP Resized, saturated to bring out the sun on those fields as it was, resharpened and frame added.


Hope you enjoy.

Again, another shot of yours stands out from the other thumbnails on the page.

The three layers of wall/field/sky work well and i like the angle of the wall. very glad that the wall wasn't shot straight-on. there's a nice, soft and almost dream-like quality here as well. good shot.

Now...about that frame... :-)

Good morning Dean

Oustanding capture here, the sunlight on the fields really make this image and give it superb depth. Wonderful POV and crisp shot. Framing is well suited too.

TFS regards Helen

Hi Dean,

Hi Dean,

This is a very nice shot. The lighting is soft and interesting. Good scene. Here, your frame does compliment the image as it provides a contrast and hence makes the image "pop". Well done.

What a wonderful picture; congrats !!!

Hi Dean,
Lovely image, I love the light on the field behind the wall. The wall in the foreground is great creating layers of colour and texture. The grey clouds in the background really add to the image, excellent sharpness and details throughout! Well done and TFS
