Andrew in the courtyard
Susanne headed inside
Samer, Andrew & Abu Muhammad wave
I loved all these levels where we could see the ruins and surrounding area. Here is Samer on one side while I am photographing him from another.
I greatly enjoyed walking along the edge of the wall. The greenery and small flowers add to the charm.
The gang
No guardrails on these stairs! It's all natural!
I loved looking down on these views
We went up these stairs and looked over the countryside

Hi Susanne! I just love the views from the top. James and I watch lots of historical epic movies. They're some of our favorites and so I chuckled when you mentioned the the stairs with no railing.
I immediately thought, well that's so that when they're the castle is invaded and their sword fighting on the steps they could push the enemy off. How morbid am I?
Anyhow, it's crazy to think of it as a bustling place of activity back in the day. It'd be neat to time travel back and be an invisible observer.
These are so amazing... and yeah, I am pretty much Jealous. The closest thing to a castle that I have seen is... well... your pictures!
;-)
thank you for sharing!

Thanks for letting us travel through you. I really appreciate the time you're giving.
I wonder what folks will be walking around on hundreds of years from now.
