This is a terrific shot.  Every time I think I've heard of all the castles over there, another one pops up. Cholmondeley Castle....

Ah yes good old "Chumly" Castle. English spellings / pronunciation must give non English speakers nightmares. Cholmondeley Castle is a great place to chill out on a warm afternoon. Then, of course there is Leeds Castle, nowhere near Leeds. At least the word sounds like its spelling.I'm off to Castleford today and as far as I know there is no castle.

Lol, Rod.  Hope you had a great time in Castleford.  I would have pronounced it CHOLE-MON-DA-LAY. But then why is Berkshire Barkshire and Derbyshire Darbyshire  Must be British English.  Wink

Hi Debbie:  Yes, on close inspection, the mosaic looks like it's made up of little smooth stream stones or something.  Whatever it is is sure is lovely and dramatic.
