    Default Where In The World?

    A while back I googled around looking for cool background images for my PC. One that I found and fell in love with is this image here. To this day I dunno where this picture came from, where this building is... but I wanna know! I figured it couldn't hurt to ask around and see if all ya'll awesome groovy folks might be able to help me identify it. I wanna go there, wherever it is.

    The forest is consuming the castle! Eerie and beautiful all at once. Kinda reminds me of Ireland, or Scotland.

    Would that be one of the dug out churches in Ethiopia?

    Edited to add - or should I say carved.

    Heres the google images results. I dont see any so green though.



    Where are the botanists? If someone could identify the plants maybe we could work out which corner of the globe this sits in at least! Cos it doesnt look carved quite honestly.

    Looks like a castle to me, I have did a little research on castles and different countries. Ireland and England both are very green and have plenty of castles for starters.

    Now I must find 800 x 600 images of other angles. I am so in love with this place. I want to go to Italy someday anyways, part of my Visit The Heritage Countries Tour... but yeah, add that to the list!

    It's right in the centre of the town, I wonder why they didn't do that. It's also not a castle, it's a flour mill, which might be a reason.

    It was only a 5 day tour of the Coast of Amalfi... so we had to hit so many places in such a short amount of time including; Amalfi, Naples, Positano and Pompeii... plus the long drive through the entire coast. That place is the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life!!! We just stayed in Sorrento to crash at the hotel...but still...I wouldn't have minded hitting that flour mill! I wish the guides had at least told us about it. I would've definitely walked to the center of town to see it. Absolutely breathtaking!

    My friend stayed there a month... she says even that's not enough time to see everything.
