Michael mate,
Once again you have made my breakfast of tea and crumpets very enjoyable. Just keep those dios coming. Also love your Indians. Better than reading that rubbish about civilians on the K&C Forum.
Cheers from the Land Downunder, Howard

Great photo Michael - I really like your backdrop photo. If I am not mistaken, I believe that is the Scottish castle that was used in the romantic comedy movie "Maid of Honor". Any way - I have enjoyed your offering this evening.

I think Mad Angus may be your alter ego. Nonetheless, I like the dio experiements in minimalism. What a nice way to show off the qualisty of the dio elements.

Great photo.
So the secret is out. Howard likes a bit of "crumpet".
If I am not mistaken that castle is the one by Loch Ness.
Regards
Brett

My curiosity got the best of me - I looked up the castle. It is Eilean Donan Castle which is located near the village of Dornie in the western highland of Scotland. The original parts were built in the 13th century for protection from the Vikings. It is on a small island in Loch Duich and is connected to the mainland by a foot bridge. "Eilean Donan" is celtic for Island of Donan. It's exterior photos were used in the 2007 movie "Made of Honor" and it has also been seen in several other movies. Very picturesque . . . . . .

Thank you Scott...
good eye Mike...
As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan is recognised all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish highlands.
Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries.
Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and proceeded to restore the castle to its former glory. After 20 years of toil and labour the castle was re-opened in 1932.
Today, you can explore nearly every part of the castle, and enjoy a journey through the history of the area.
Maid of Honor was a "cute...chick flick" kind of movie...
