I shot it back in 2001 with an old digital camera so it is small, even at full-size it&#8217;s only 640&#215;480 pixels. I held off using it as a photo of the week for ages because of that. However, I&#8217;ve decided that size isn&#8217;t everything, so here it is!<\/p>\n<p>This shot is a silhouette of the ruins of a once beautiful castle in my native town of Duffel in Belgium. It was shot against a lovely winter sunset. The castle itself dates back to the 12th century and was home to the first recorded lords of Duffel. It now sits in a small pond a few hundred meters away from the river Nete but when it was first built it sat on an island in the river. Obviously it&#8217;s not the castle that&#8217;s moved since but the course of the river! Like so many things in Belgium it was unfortunately destroyed during WWII.
