What is recorded here

The Orangery, Powis Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps warm citrus breath still ghosts through the glass while rain hammers the stone. Maybe forgotten hands planted vivid green life inside the rigid border. Imagine a woman walking past bright leaves at dawn, unafraid of the dark beyond the pane.
