Carew Castle and Bridge :- This photograph was taken on the first day of our vacation last year in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. I love the reflections and calmness which is made more intense by the late evening light. I was lucky to take many other views of the castle which can all be found on my sales site, the images below are just a small selection.

Carew Castle - The castle stands on a limestone bluff overlooking the Carew inlet — a part of the tidal estuary that makes up Milford Haven. The site must have been recognised as strategically useful from the earliest times, and recent excavations in the outer ward have discovered multiple defensive walls of an Iron Age fort. The Norman castle has its origins in a stone keep built by Gerald de Windsor around the year 1100. Gerald was made castellan of Pembroke Castle by Arnulf of Montgomery in the first Norman invasion of Pembrokeshire. He married Nest, princess of Deheubarth around 1095. Nest brought the manor of Carew as part of her dowry, and Gerald cleared the existing fort to build his own castle on Norman lines. The original outer walls were timber, and only the keep was of stone. This still exists in the later structure as the "Old Tower".

Technical Information - The photograph was taken on 19th July 2008 at 20:05 the camera used was a NIKON D60 set to Aperture priority, ISO1600, f11 at 1/640th of a second shutter speed, focal length 36mm, hand held.
