Rudkhan castle!

yesterday i didn't have much chance for photography so this morning before getting back we went to see this castle! all i'd heard about it was it's a fantastic place, but nobody had mentioned anything about the path to the castle!

this castle is built on top of the mountain, we had to climb more than 1400 stairs (2.5 kilometers) from below of mountain to the castle! this castle has been built centuries ago, and i think people were taller in that time, each stair was half a meter (some more or less) and i had a hard time climbing them with my tight jeans! many people who were climbing there had no idea about the path; there were ladies with high heels or people with lots of stuff like they were going to picnic, i had doubt if they would climb more than 100 stairs! and the more we were climbing the stairs were getting higher and more difficult to climb! but the path to the castle was really beautiful, full of waterfalls and fantastic scenes! but i didn't have my tripod with me!

there is doubt about the date it's been built! it's at least 500 years old!

a funny fact about this castle, it's also known as castle of hesam!

more info!

but after all i couldn't take so many shots! it's a while i'm getting this error on my camera "communications between the camera and lens is faulty. clean the lens and contacts"!

i've cleaned the lens and contacts but nothing changed! it's driving me nuts! i'm getting that error mostly at 18 or 200mm focal lengths! any idea?
