Anna's Photos

Hi Anna, these are yours. As I mentioned I have played about a bit with some of them to create some arty effects any of which can be reduced or removed as required. Hope you like them!

And the last from Harewood

Last few from Harewood, including a not brilliantly focused kookabura - decided to try out the zoom lense, but without out the aid of a tripod so it was never going to be well focused! The top photo was taken through the window of the glass house, the windows had opaqued with dirt and age and someone had rubbed a hole which made a nice soft frame, sort of natural vignette!

Harewood House - Lunch etc

Lunch really was fantastic and certainly photo worthy - especially the cake!

Harewood House

As we had no guests booked in this weekend Saturday was spent doing very little so Sunday Steve and I decided to have a day out so went to Harewood House. Took masses of photos and in spite of continual drizzle all day I am pretty pleased with them. Will post them over the course of the week as I took rather a lot! These first ones show the front of the house, isn't it fantastic - the house not the photo! And then we walked round to the back of the house and the terrace over looking the estate. The gardens here were laid out by Capability Brown and were absolutely stunning although a lot of the tulips had gone over. We had lunch in the terrace cafe, the cafe was beautiful and the lunch wonderful, a real treat. Lunch photos on next post.

Matlock Walk

A while ago Steve found that Derbyshire Council were organising a walking weekend in the Derbyshire peak district and one of the walks was a photo-walk in Lumsden. Wasn't sure what to expect but really enjoyed and am very pleased with some of the results - light was great when we started out, flattened out over the course of the walk but still not bad.
