Fortunately, I finished sorting my used pictures for this blog last night, or I would have repeated this photo of Dudley Castle. I must be in an English Castle mood today. Here is another post, this time from the tower looking down.

Today I am joining others around the world who participate in Skywatch Friday. Click on over to see stunning photos of the beautiful sky that covers us all!

I've already posted one picture of this picturesque castle. This picture of Dudley Castle (posted earlier on this blog) will show you what's causing the shadow on the ground above.

It was a gloriously sunny day when we took the train from Banbury to Dudley to visit Dudley Zoo, its tapirs, and tapir keeper Laura Robbins, along with the historic and extremely picturesque Dudley Castle, begun about 1071. More on all of this in blog posts to come. There are photos of Banbury and two of Dudley Castle on Lee's blog post, Seeing the Past.

I have left both plaque photos large. Click on the image and you can read about this remarkable castle.

This post is a continuation of my personal theme week, "England," which started on March 1, although I posted the first photo from the trip on February 27. See also March 2 and March 3 if you missed them :)
