‘That Old Black Magic’ - a photo on Flickriver

            Saturday night at 9.30pm after everyone else in the house had either gone to sleep or settled down for the night I headed out for a few hours and made use of what turned out to be the only free time I got in an otherwise difficult weekend. I made for Lennox Castle to take another look at this sad, vast, crumbling ruin. The waning gibbous moon still cast my shadow through a thin veil of cloud as I made my way up through the forest. A small creature scurried off the track at foot level and I also heard some larger animals- deer?- moving away from the track at one point. It was quiet and a little spooky. I’ve visited this place a few times now and it’s always left me sad that such a fine building can be left to rot... 
I’d gotten out the habit these past 6 months of heading out with my camera but a few recent trips have got me back in the mood and I found myself singing the Frank Sinatra song on my way up through the woods which is what lent this photo it’s title.
