Now that would be a fun place to photograph, these are very nice shots. I like the first shot, but wish it was slightly closer or brighter, I'm not sure.

Where is this castle that has no guards to protect the people. Like the entrance and view from the window.

I beleive the city is Willoughby Hills. It's just a fun place everyone locally goes to once in their lives here, either for prom,wedding photos or sled riding, picnicing,hiking or climbing the walls and falling and breaking two arms as my daughter did. It's part of the Emerald Necklace, metro parks that circle the Cleveland area. As I grew up I was to believe the man was in the process of building this for his wife and she either had died or left him so it was never completed. They now have plaques that state it was a functioning castle. Standard Oil founder Mr. Squires had this built as his gate house. Mr. Squires moved to Europe (I believe) and found that he had no use for this place and ended up selling it. It figures even back then OIL ruled.

That is a very cool place! Love your shots--you've got to go back at sunrise or sunset with the sun out to get some other looks at it! Too cool.
