Certainly a superior shot This Rosa. Like the composition and the colours, reflections and ripples on the water. The golden discs of the lily pads catch the light beautifully, as does the stonework of the house and the grass of lawns.

Enjoy your evening. Doug

It looks a lovely place, is the fountain pumped or pressure fed like the one at Chatsworth? even then the South and South West was the place to be very few of the wealthy ventured into the wilds of the Midlands. I hope you enjoy your evening Rosalyn

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thank you Peter. I have no idea how the pump works. I was more interested in the huge fish there! I cooler day here today and I think rain is on its way. Have a good day.

What a lovely photo, Rosa...! your POV is spot on, with all the interesting things you caught in the capture. I also love that you caught the water fountain with that lovely blue sky as the background. The House is such an interesting place.. best wishes, Sarah

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Sarah O' club
Thank you very much Sarah. I probably visit this National Trust property more than any other, as they have so many great events there....until Covid struck that is! I am hoping they have their Christmas Market back again this year.
Best wishes, Rosa.

Rosa enriqueces una colección de arquitectura con los edificios clásicos que gustan y se aceptan ver. La fuente tiene fuerza de expulsión y captaste bien el leve trazado del agua desde su salida a las salpicaduras y ondas que hacen en al caer. Habrá que mirar tu álbum de Arquitectura, si lo tienes ¿Si? Buen día.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
Thank you so much for your kind comments Jose Manuel. This is one of the best examples of fine Elizabethan architecture I think. I visit the house and grounds quite often. I don't have an album dedicated to Architecture, but it's a good idea for when the days get shorter.
Have a good Thursday.

Such beautiful light for this lovely garden, Rosalyn. And the "transitional" architectural style of the house is very intriguing, especially with this golden sidelight accentuating the more gothic-like details.

Thank you for your kind comments Annalia. I visit this property quite often, but it's the first time I have been able to take pictures with a blue sky and good light for a while :-)

This is a great example of Elizabethan architecture, dear Rosa , and you captured it so well, in such fine warm light and with an amazing composition. Everything is harmony, from the rippled water of the fountain in the foreground with nice reflection to the building itself..the jet of water is the final touch!
Definitely a beauty of a photo, my friend!
Have a nice day

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Adele club
Of all the fine houses I have visited, including Blenheim Castle, this Elizabethan Mansion is my favourite. It is just the right size to walk around and the proportions are perfect. I was very happy to read your kind and generous comments dear Adele, thank you.
All the best and happy Thursday my friend :-)
