We recently went on our first ever overseas holiday! We've had to save for a really long time to be able to afford it as the exchange rate between us in South Africa and England is 16 to 1. Basically buying a beer at home would cost about 12 Rand, whereas in England it would cost me about 190 Rand for the same beer. Scary! But the one thing I loved about England was their castles which provided amazing photographic opportunities. Today's HS:MS word is 'gate' and this particular gate was at Carrisbrook Castle. It's a awesome gate, hundreds of years old, beautifully weathered and easily over 20 feet tall.

The UK is an expensive place to live plus, as you say, the exchange rates for you are bad anyway.
That is a ridiculous amount of money for a beer . . . nearly enough, though not quite enough, to put you off drinking!
Glad you enjoyed your holiday here :-)
So a smashing gate and most worthy of selection for today's prompt :-)

Lots of castles here too in Scotland :). There is one five minutes from where I live, my favourite place to walk the dog. Love this gate, great shot.
