View from the Turkish Tent

Magnificent capture!

Thank you, William.

Stunning view.

Thanks, Don. Just one of many stunning views in this park, but this is arguably the best.

Well he succeeded in bucket loads !!

Breathtaking !

That would be JCB buckets! To think this was all done by hand, some 200 years before JCBs were invented. Amazing!

Superbe paysage !!!!!!

Merci, Didier. Ça me plaisait ;-)

It seems to me that Hamilton's aim for the landscaping was achieved brilliantly. Such a marvellous design which seems to have withstood the test of time..!!

You've captured it perfectly Neil in all it's beauty! Very, very, nice indeed.

I totally agree with your fine words about Hamilton, Keith. It has not always looked so good though. I read somewhere that for most of the last century the park fell into disarray and became overgrown through neglect. In 1981 the Painshill Park Trust was founded as a registered charity and restoration of the park began.
I'm pleased you like the results and I do appreciate your very generous words.....and the valuable time you allocated to the comments.

Wonderful view with first signs of fall.

Many thanks, Jaap. The park is only open to the public at weekends and if I had left it another week I'm sure there would have been more colour on offer. I couldn't trust the weather though...

Fantastic place, your photo does it justice! For a very brief moment I thought this was Stourhead;-)

Thank you, Gudrun. I have never been to Stourhead, but if is half as interesting as Painshill, then it surely must be worth a visit!

That is some beautiful park where you spend your time, one place I would dearly love to visit were it nearer.

I have only been there for the one visit....so far. A great pity you do not live on the other side of the great city, or I would pick you up one weekend and give you the tour..

Serenly beautiful, in large part because of the excellent composition.

Thank you, John. The composition was done by a visionary who made good use of his wealth.

superbe parc

Merci de votre visite, Anne-Marie.

A beautiful formal park indeed, Neil.

Indeed it is, George. I feel guilty for not visiting it before. It is only half an hour's drive away from here and I'd never heard of it until a few weeks ago.

Fantastic place and shot!!! Greetings:)

Many thanks, Majka!

A really nice shot and I notice similarities with Stourhead.

Thank you, Jeff.
The main difference being this place seems to get more sun than Stourhead ;-)
