Lovely view Ellie. I can feel the sun looking at this shot. A nice one for the morning. I'm not sure if it was possible for you to frame it without the edge of the wall at the bottom - Would have come out just perfect.

I took two pictures, one with the wall and one without it. The one without the wall had less sense of scale although, on reflection, I wish I'd been able to have a slightly higher viewpoint, but genetics (my height) wouldn't allow it
I am jealous of your break - enjoy it. Looks more a village than a palace. A clear pic of the place - the little piece of wall at the bottom - were you scared of leaning over?
Excellent picture of what looks like a very interesting place. I doubt I will ever get there, so thank you for sharing, Ellie.

Thanks Ray.
I know the feeling .. I've always dreamed of visiting Thailand but it's unlikely to happen. That's the beauty of Shutterchance, I can see the beauty of other people's worlds, seen through their eyes.
Those topiary gardens look full of photographic promise! Are you posting these on your holiday? Cold, grey, wet, miserable day here in the North West of England. Lucky you!

I had uploaded a week plus of pictures before we went away, I've taken a few more now though It was lovely, horrible to come back to a soaking wet UK.

Thanks Dotun, the Z5 is a pretty good little camera. It's a pity they no longer make them, although I think Sony is now using the Konica Minolta technology they acquired when the bought the company.
I've now got an Olympus E-400, hopefully you'll see some decent pictures from it .. as long as I pressed the right buttons!
One of the nicest aspects of Shutterchance is being able to put things on auto-pilot like this, so that images continue to pop up on a daily basis without any further intervention. Shutterchance rules!
But, I digress. Nice photo Ellie, though I would have preferred a bit more foreground. No doubt you were aleready leaning well over the wall of the Moorish Castle anyway ;-)
