Well, it certainly looks royal... can you fill us in?

Loving the angle but I'd rotate it just a tad to the right (looks slanted as it is). Great work!

a beautiful shot

Thank you for the tip magicsteve I'll do as you say, you're right.
This is the entrance to El Alcazar of Segovia, Spain. It's one of the most famous castle/palace in this kingdom. History has it, it was built between the XII and the XVI centuries by order of Alfonso VI who began the construction after reconquering the city. Lots of important events took place in this castle, yet it's worth mentioning the proclamation of Elizabeth "The Catholic" as queen of Castille as one of the most important of them all. Well, Kyricom I hope this brief info fills you in, and will trigger your curiosity to look into a bit more. The history of this place is really fascinating.

Thanks for the info. Very nice, I probably will try to read a little more. Thanks

fun angel

thanks

I like the angle too

Well done, great idea, wish I had thought of it.

Excellent. These type images just get better and better. When Florida decides to stop with the rain clouds and storms, I'm going to try it.

Awesome - now where was this in the star trails contest???

Thanks everyone... Fallinghorse, I would have loved to put this in the star trails contest but I took this shot over the weekend, in my area there is far too much light pollution so I took advantage of the darkness when we drove 3 hours north for our little vacation
