So to impress the "colonials" with the legitimacy of their ill gotten wealth and position of stature, they built "castles!" ;-) Like Craigdorrach Castle in Victoria, Casa Loma in Toronto and there's a few more about here some place. Well OK not like Windsor Castle, but by today's standards it goes as a castle with all kinds of trinkets stolen, "OOPS!" borrowed from their travels of the world pillaging the last vestiges of the British Empire! ;-) So they had these castles built avec, minaret towers, parapets and always built on a lofty high point over looking another land of their conquest! ;-) So now you know we have castles. ;-) > >>>>Now make a New Years resolution - no flash no matter what!<<<<<< I have taken the oath not to use flash ever again! Also looking into "Flash-a-holics Anonymous" in case I'm ever overtaken with twinkie light twitches in the future! :-) ted
