YouTube AND my little castle - Tioram

... now coming full circle from beginning this blog with a little personal story about a gentle,beloved grandmother's history- a castle somewhere in the past, past.
VERY little information was ever mentioned by Gram of "the castle"- In fact, I didn't hear about it till a recent trip to Scotland by one of her sons to find the castle. Not much left of it--- but Web is fantistic--- another traveller gives us a brief glimpse on YouTube- of Tioram.
Web 2.0 ? --I'm hooked.

Tioram


Tioram Castle #3

Doing a bit of Flickr-time today. I have found a surprising number of hits for my little Scottish castle project.

This photo is a nice one that gives a perspective of Tioram, surrounded by water and looking almost sunny! I found this one from a Creative Commons site on Flickr. I selected it 'cause it is framed in one of the ways I like (a little filtering of surrounding landscape).

I will contribute from my personal (family) photos also.

The possibilities of Flickr are staggering... in fact one can stagger into some serious territory here. whew, boy.

A pratical use of Flickr: using shared images for spicing up a Ryerson Library webpage .
