Pleasance moat. The Pleasance is a square raised area surrounded by a double moat, now mostly dry, built as a party site by Henry V, nearly a mile from Kenilworth Castle.

Black and white photo showing part of a flooded area in a field lit by low winter sun. There are bunches of reeds and a strange wooden structure in the still water, with their reflections. In the field beyond is a tree that has been cut down but is regenerating.

I think we've finally crossed into 2025, so a new thread. The old thread ended at https://mastodon.scot/@carusb/114351947348113749 .

Black and white photo taken directly into the sun, shielded by the trunk of a large winter tree, whose shadows are cast towards the viewer. Abbey Lake and the trees beyond it lie behind the tree.

Black and white photo showing a narrow country lane between wide grass verges bounded by hedges and several winter trees, arching over the road. It is foggy. A telegraph pole behind the tree to the left; in the distance a speed limit sign, and as the road curves towards its vanishing point, the small figure of a walker just emerging from the mist.

Black and white portrait format photo of a winter tree divided into 3 vertical branches, almost in silhouette. Down the hill in the foggy background a path runs diagonally through the park; a group of 3 people are visible just to the right of the tree. To the left, near where the path disappears, a pollarded tree can just be seen; it is by the invisible lake.

Black and white portrait format photo showing a ruined stone wall, taller at the right where the remnants of a huge stone window can be seen. In the centre, a stone doorway frames a winter tree, softened by fog. The huge stone keep looms through the mist to the left.

Looking across a pedestrian bridge, past the wooden visitors shop to the left, towards Kenilworth Castle shrouded in fog. There are winter trees to right and left, and a group of people approaching the bridge. Black and white photo.

Some walkers on a path beside a dark hedge on the right, with overhanging winter trees. Above them on their left, more walkers are on a different path (this one known as the Tiltyard, forming the entrance to the Castle). Black and white photo.

Black and white photo of people milling about among the old stone ruins of Kenilworth Castle. In the centre of the frame, a group of people, the nearest holding a sheet of music, are gathered round their conductor, whose music is on a stand, ready to sing their next (and last of this session) song, on Boxing Day morning.

Black and white photo of people strolling through the grounds of Kenilworth Castle. Near the centre two women walk towards the viewer, grinning. One is wearing a duck costume, which is weirdly out of context. There is an old stone building top left and trees behind, softened by fog.

Foggy Castle. Our local castle is open for free on Boxing Day morning, before the duck race! Think this will also work for #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday

A person wrapped up in winter clothes looks up a slope towards the massive, 12th century Keep on Kenilworth Castle, outlines softened by fog. There are crowds of people on the grass by the Keep.

Two bare winter trees in an open field, branches just overlapping, in the sideways winter sun. The right hand one has an attractively curved trunk, bending to the right and then curving left again. There are clouds on the horizon behind them which look a bit like snow-covered hills, but the land is flat.

Grand Union Canal 2. A narrowboat moored at the towpath, the modern broad lock with its sluice winding gear standing up at an angle, and the beams to open the gates. Harder to see is the original narrow lock on the right, closed off with water spilling over.
