The great outdoors

We're being outdoorsey this week on Sepia Saturday. Whether the two participants in the photograph intend to go for a bracing walk or are merely doing a little gentle sightseeing is unclear, but it's a nicely composed image.

This is from the same group of photographs as the picnic party and the tennis enthusiasts. The board-mounted photograph measures142mm x 97mm; Chapelgill, Nov. 1892 is written on the reverse. Google reveals that the location probably refers to Chapelgill Hill in Scotland, a popular venue for present-day walkers.

You can find more walkers and other old images over at Sepia Saturday.

Kenilworth Castle

A rather good photograph of an ancient monument is my effort for this week's Sepia Saturday. It's Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire; the photograph is from my Victorian Scrap Book and dates from 1873.

What surprises me is how the actual ruins appear to be little changed over the years - this modern photograph of the castle is taken from a similar angle - and I do like the chap in the foreground enjoying the scene.

More ancient and modern entries over at Sepia Saturday.
