Stourhead House and Park

Toujours aussi beaux tes rendus..L'angle de prise est bien choisi.
Bonne journée.

Thank you so much for your kind compliments Malik.
Have a good day.

The frontage resembles that of Attingham Hall Rosa. Busy gardening since we got back from Anglesey. Our garden was supposed to be in the Yellow Book this year but due to the 'unforeseen circumstances' last May we had to cancel.

Yes it is in the same style but not as big or grand as Attingham Hall. That is a shame about your garden Amelia. I can understand why and there is always next year to look forward to.

belle demeure************
belle journée Rosalyn**********

Merci beaucoup Valeriane.

Very well composed Rosa.

Thank you Jaap.

Beautifully composed.

Thank you George.

Lovely photo Rosa.... and nice caption!!... I didn't get a photo from this angle... :(( ... the House looks deeper than I thought!

Thank you John. From this direction you can follow the public footpaths to King Alfred's Tower....I didn't because too long in the cafe ;-))

Beautiful profile view of this castle!!!!!!****

Thank you Nouchet.

LOL, you've caught this place with its knickers exposed! :D And yet, WHAT A VIEW! Love the comp and natural frame! And you know how I feel about dappled shadows...WOOOT! :)

Ha ha...well, I have never heard it put like that. LOL! Ah yes, dappled sunlight is very attractive and of course it means it's sunny!! Thank you for your kind comments Janet.

An unusual perspective, but it works very well..............even with the bins! Like Janet, I love the natural framing from the tree and the dappled shadows! Beautifully done Rosa.

Thank you for your kind words Keith...I did think about moving the bins, but thought I'd keep it real ;-))

A superb shot of the house Rosa.
We went to Kilver Court in Shepton Mallet today - well worth a visit !!!

Thank you Jeff. I have been to Kilver Court several times and you are right it is well worth it. I love the old viaduct being part of the gardens. Nice cafe too :-))

Fine view and composition, Rosa ! An impressive building !

Thank you Ulrich.

Très belle photo. Nicole.

Merci beaucoup Nicole.

Lovely capture that's beautifully framed Rosa.

Thank you Roger.

At the end of the lane, a splendid building. Splendid perspective with the green leaves in foreground.
All the best
Fabio

Thank you for your kind comments Fabio.
All the best,
Rosa.

The tree shadows in the foreground are exquisite as is the house even with the bins.

Thank you Jean :-)

You need a bit of editing there !!! they would need a lot of brown bins for the garden waste
The front of Calke Abbey is also similar

Got to keep it real Peter! The architecture was very popular at the time and like so many stately homes. Have a good and sunny day!

Hi Rosa,

I think the bins really add something here. They are just noticable, despite being black, and by breaking up the obvious 'country manor' scene, draw attention and focus..
I like it!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thank you for that. I might clone out a simple power line if it cuts across a picture, but I am not very good at anything bigger! As I mentioned to Peter C, I do like to keep it real.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Lovely capture of this cracking looking building Rosa. The framing, perspective and illumination display it to great effect. I also like the shadows of the tree in the foreground are a nice touch. At least the bins are not bright blue like our recycling one!

Thank you very much Doug. It was a new angle for me, and the dappled sunlight caught my eye more than the bins....thank goodness they were black though! ;-))

Hahhaaa....that´s daily business ;)
It wouldn´t bother me, walking this wonderful path.

It sure is Tanja! My friend Georgina and I were going to walk around the gardens...but we stayed in the cafe too long ;-)) I don't expect you are surprised at that!!

Beautiful angle of view and perspective.
A great photograph indeed ! *******
Have a lovely week end, dear Rosalyn.
