Here's a view of Agra Fort, which is quite close to the Taj Mahal:

and here's a view of part of Fatehpur Sikri, an abandoned city, just down the road from Agra, that was built in the 16th century:

All the pictures from the Indian trip can be seen at http://www.torquemonsters.co.uk/indiaheader.htm (http://www.torquemonsters.co.uk/indiaheader.htm) if anyone is interested. I should point out, however, that I didn't take all the pictures on the Indian trip - my other half took a lot of them. The two I have submitted for the photo contest were definitely taken by me though.

A pair of very (very) old cattages, well tucked in at the side of a main Mountain Pass road (that was once just a Donkey trail) high up in the North of Spain.
You need to be a Right Hard Bugger to live up here. Note the rocks, suitably placed to hold the roof down during the harsh winter weather :\ .
I think the posh people living in the 'White' half must be called .... Jones :lol

So ... how old do we need to get :\
Remote (almost secret) Spanish Castle complex .. it's a B&B without the B these days .. if you can find it.
It must have been a right pain in the buttress when someone, flogging double glazing, rang the front door bell here!
Good Luck Guys, Stay Safe ;) Polar Bear

Tori: I'm sure that in the time you've spent on here explaining why you're too busy to post anything... you could have found an image and posted it. :pokefun
Anyway, here's one I took in March while the bike was undergoing an MOT.

OK, not especially old... but has quite a creepy atmosphere about it (like most abandoned industrial buildings). I guess it was built in the 60's when that part of the Blackwater Valley near Ash was being used for gravel extraction. The resulting holes in the ground are now fishing lakes, there is a chain of them stretching from south of Aldershot all the way to Finchamstead with the odd gap where towns got in the way.

Lol, I'm accessing the net at work (and at the bmf this weekend) but sadly not in fron of my photos folder on my pc! I really don't have anything suitable for this month. That's why I picked the theme, so it'd be something to make me pull my finger out. Sadly, my finger didn't get pulled out :lol:
I'm looking forward to next months theme though! I hope it'll be something really fab! :)

Anyone else want to pull Tori's finger?
