Stourhead Lake.

Stourhead Lake.
A popular spot for a picture with The Pantheon across the lake. I have taken shots from here many times, usually waiting for a clear view, but this time I captured the people as well, just for something a little different. The PiP is showing the Temple of Flora bathed in sunshine.

Hi Rosa
What a good idea ~ The silhouettes add scale, without distraction from the principal subjects. Enjoy your day ~

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Nick Weall club
Hi Nick, and thank you very much. As I walk around Stourhead, I'm trying to get something a little bit different than before, but I mostly end up taking the same old pictures :-))

I hope you have a good new week ~ Rosa.

The main composition is very interesting and successful, Rosa.

Shady characters ;-) The PiP is my favorite, Rosa! It could be an HBM, but you're not part of that group, are you?

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
That's the type you get in Stourhead Edna ;-)) I'm pleased you like the PiP. I haven't been part of the HBM group for a while, but if it fits, that's okay.
I hope you have a great new week.

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Interesting to know, Rosa ;-))
Well, you could always add it to your own personal HBM, just as I do with HWW ;-)
Thank you and have a wonderful new week (WNW) as well :-)

A fine view but I think it would have taken it without the person in the foreground (unless it was somebody I knew :)). I do like the window shot.

Cheers. Herb

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Herb Riddle club
I didn't know him Herb, but I almost cut the shot down to the silhouettes on the right, in portrait mode. Good to get your thoughts on it, thank you.
Cheers, and have a good new week, Rosa.

The people silhouettes work well, if they had been in period costume it would have been perfect the one on the left suggests some type of frock coat, finding a way of making a shot different is the hard part, the weeds continue to be watered on a regular basis Good night

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
Many period dramas have had scenes by the lake Peter, but I am never around to see those costumes. The weeds just love the present weather Peter! Have a nice day.

A lovely view over the lake, nicely framed through the trees. I like the silhouetted people in the shot.

Nice light and shadows in the PiP and I like the gentle colour palette!
9 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
I'm pleased you like it Keith, thank you. As I have taken so many shots from this perspective, I saw the people, the light was just right, so I hoped it would be something a bit different :-)

Off to Lacock today. I haven't been since 2018.
Have a good day.

Keith Burton club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
I hope you had a good day Rosa, despite the weather.

We went to Saltash in Cornwall to visit Jackie's sister and had a lovely day. The only downside was that it poured down with rain all day, so a stressful drive and no photos!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Can't do much about the weather Keith, but very pleased you had such a lovely day. Not easy driving in those conditions, but I'm sure you were very careful.

The trees make for a great frame but the silhouettes really make it into something special- well seen! Stourhead is beautiful no matter the weather and season and you are lucky you can visit so frequently!

Thank you very much for your kind words Gudrun. I am lucky that it is not far from home.
Also I worked there for a couple of years in the 1990's.

The unobtrusive presence of people when photographing a monument or an important place, in my opinion, is right and fundamental.
Here you can admire the beautiful backlight of people and trees which, however, do not prevent you from admiring the Pantheon and the bridge.
Warm greetings

I thought you might recognise it Amelia. I always like it when I recognise locations in your gallery, especially of Shrewsbury, as we haven't been there for a few years now.
