Photographer’s Note
The castle, with its imposing round tower, has a commanding hillside position over the town of Martigny. It was constructed in the early 13th Century, although its foundations date back to the 11th Century. It was intentionally burned following a battle in 1475, but due to its strategic military importance, it was restored.

Hi Sandy,Well framed image ,the castle correctly dominates the scene and the diagonal line of trees creates a feeling of height.The b&w enhances the texture of the stones and adds to the ruggedness of the overall setting .Built for defence.Thanks Tom
