The last time I remember seeing this it was a ghost castle... You have done a fabulous work, Mags! Congrats! Looking forward to seeing it framed, too!

Thanks everyone.
Serinde - a 2.5 inch wide double, think-it-was-off-white mount, and a wooden frame a bit darker than our teak furniture. Should be ready in about 2 weeks.
Not finally decided where it will hang - we have several options and will try them all out to see which will be the best.

Do you know if it's an actual castle? Looks like it could be in Bavaria!

So what's next? :thinks:
