Made from the top of the keep at Richmond Castle, I love the chaotic lines and colour of the roofs below. I made perhaps 15 compositions of the scene, but the above, with two carefully planned corners, is by far the most pleasing.

As a child, when I lived in York for a time, Richmond was my favorite castle to visit - something about the mix of the Victorian restoration of the gatehouse and keep, and the battered, ruined walls around the rest of the castle spoke to me on a visceral level. It was cathartic to return as an adult, and be able to make images of the space that portray some of the awe I hold for the castle.

On the walk back to the car, I passed by this lovely little door...with no hinges. The irony of the scene is weaker than the delicate mix of colours...but I pity the person who next opens the door!
