 Castle Stalker in Scotland. My wife and I were driving from Inverness to Oban on vacation this month, and I almost wrecked the car trying to pull over when I saw this castle sitting in the middle of the lake. I wish I had front light instead of backlight, because the castle itself was really beautiful. If you have seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, hopefully you get the title ;)

Actually, I'm kicking myself now too. I just got photomatix and ran this shot through for tone mapping, and it looked waayyyy better. I really wish that I could have been there at a better time of day. Oh well, ammo for next time...
