As we moved away, I scrambled to get the camera out of my bag—no time for adjustments, just point and shoot. The settings were whatever they happened to be, the shutter speed was far too low. Still, I was pleased to have caught it in the gap between the trees.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/68112440@N07/">Richard Szwejkowski</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/68112440@N07/54868151609/" title="Stokesay Castle 260724 185716 2"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54868151609_9031bf1bd5_m.jpg" width="240" height="164" alt="Stokesay Castle 260724 185716 2" /></a></p> <p>Two views of Stokesay Castle in Shropshire, both taken from a passing express train on different dates in 2024. <br /> <br /> Stokesay Castle is a late 13th century fortified manor house near Craven Arms in Shropshire.
