Old things always fascinate me. I still remember how I spent three and a half hours in the Warwick Castle in the UK and left with a wistful sense of anti-climax months ago; so was it when I left Shakespeare's houses and the Roman Bath after several hours of touring on separate days.
I have a penchant for historical heritage. Maybe there's why I still haven't switched to any DSLR…,well, yet. Knighthood is certainly one of the most marvellous relics of the past.
For reason of this passion, I have learned a few things about the castle. Here are two questions for you: 1) Do you know why the stairs leading up to the top of a tower in a castle were always built in a right-to-left spiral fashion? 2) Do you know what a wardrobe was used for in a castle?
For the same reason, I went to the movies for Alice in the Wonderland this morning; Not because the story was old, but the period costumes are interesting. The best part is Alice in full armour nearing the end of the movie.
I brought the ticket, a big pack of popcorn and a soda, happily seating myself and enjoying the movie like a five-year-old. Such literally colourful movie is the best way to educate photographers about colours in a totally submerged environment.
I definitely recommend it to you. It brings you back to childhood too. After all, who in the whole world haven't read and heard about the story?
Oh, Alice in the armour. Impressive!
