Something for the Weekend - Part 193 - Keep it up!

[davescm]

Hi

We had some great entries to our last 'vice' challenge, thanks to all who took part.

This week we have Clifford's tower in York. Originally a wooden structure built on the mound in around 1068 it was rebuilt in stone in the 13th century and repaired and restored in the 16th century. It has a long, and sometimes gruesome, history and has been a castle keep, a military prison, and even a royal mint. The name, incidentally, comes from Roger De Clifford a Baron who was executed for treason in 1322 at the tower.

So we have the tower and the mound, what can you do to show the next chapter in its history, hopefully more peaceful than its past?

I love the steps and the mist around the restaurant. Very nicely done.

The Golden Seagull restaurant is this, no? Where seagulls go to eat.

Good gracious Monika.  Talk about Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds horror flick.  This has to be way up there with scary bird movies.
