Very neat structure, I like the different structure work of this one. The srubbery is very well taken care of and offers good composition. sandi♥

Very nice manor house with a nice garden,the sky is pleasant as well,a front view of the manor house must be very nice too,it is a very good photo.

It seems like I remember your Queen wearing a hat shaped like those round bushes back in the 70's. What a great manor this is. Your clarity and colors are perfect Patti. Great post.

Amazing structure and gardens Patti. The small hedges are like hats or those seats in hotel lobbies. Love all the colours and lines, curves, detail and composotion. Fabulous sky, really a GRAND posting.

I look at this and enjoy the attention to detail you have captured in this image. Aside from the superb composition, the lines ebb and flow beautifully into each other. The key for me though is how square, straight and true everything is. A very well thought out piece of work. Kudos Patti for a job well done.

In my eyes its hard for me to imagine this kind of place in the world! Beautiful place and capture Patti! You've made this sight proud!

awesome structure! I figured it must be English when I first saw it.

awesome shot ....a wonderful place to visit...well done:)

I think I could fit my trailer on the porch. LOL. What a grand place that must be. Fantastic shot, Patti.

Jimbob

WOW! That's for both the place and the shot!

Where do you keep getting these Magnificent Images From ? A Book ? LOL.
Amazing Manor.
Thanks for sharing Patti.

Ok, so ya found my "Summer home" Patti... :-)
What a great shot and perspective! I think I would have cloned out the little red sign though. :-)

That's one heck of a gardener too!!!

loverly. good position, gardens house and sky all work beautifully.

I found the exposure and true to life colors of the building really striking. Strange cut on those shrubs. Super post.
Pat

This your pad hinny?...Must have a bar in there you can serve up drinkies!...make mine a large one eh!...

Nice tones and a marvellous composition!...this a NT property?...

You showing us some grand stuff lately!

wow, i love this one, straight to my faves!!! what an amazing house and i love the gardens too and it has those trademark patti colours!

Both a wonderful and impressive image Patti. Very good post my friend!
Regards, Cornelius.

I need to have these people over to work on my lawn!! Snazzy & prestine place!!

What an impressive house and garden.
I like the way your composition leads the eye in along the top of the hedge.
Colourings are perfect - and I am amazed at the detail - even the chimney brickword is visible!

Wow that's a great angle - the different bits of the house all look nicely jumbled together and the straight lines are really offset by the curves of the topiary. Looks like someone's made big green jellies all over the lawn! Terrific Fogz.

that is a palace to me, but if it's called a "house", a house it shall be :) great angle and impressive "subject". Thank you for sharing!

First of all, I love the name!!! :-) Second, I love the photo!
You are talented my friend!!

Agree with all of the above. the Hedges look like upside down flowerpots to me, which would be appropriate for a garden.

Wow fascinating, hate to have their heating bill.

I can only imagine what the inside must look like! Amazing grounds and home.

Well I don't have too many snazzy words to describe this....but it is just beautiful and thank you for bringing a bit of history home to me. Love to see the images of places I've only read about.

Wow.That is Amazing house..Fantastic capture,Patti.

Love these slpendid gardens and the architecture. A most striking place. :)

Post card perfect, nice looking old manor. Well done.

The lighting seems perfect for this shot,no harsh shadows,and the sky is not empty but with the right amount of clouds. Great country scenes over there.

Oh man, that castle looks great and the bushes, as if some kid designed them with sand ... Very, very lovely shot.

wonderful capture of this beautiful estate!
love those green hats laying all around ;o)

Super cool capture,the castle looks amazeing and impressing,u capture it all....!

That's a cracking photo of my new pad my old friend, so, why didn't you ring the bell and come in for afternoon tea and cakes ?

Wonderful shot,

Mark.

Fine work yet again Patti - this is a beautiful study of manorial splendour and serenity.

Beautiful house and photo, It must be nice to look at the gardens :-)

Awesome image of this manor. I can sure see that you had to figgure out the best way to picture it, and you managed perfectly. High scores for this one.

Just lovely! What a pretty place and you've captured it perfectly!

Susan & Marietha

Patti, what a beautiful building and fine garden.
I always loved to visit manors, castles and old buildings with rich history and I would really like to go here sometime too!
Thanks for posting and the link!

ps. did you read that? "James Bateman planted dozens of redwoods in his Wellingtonia Avenue, but unfortunately, a subsequent owner cut them all down! The Trust replanted the redwoods in 1976/7, so we can look forward to seeing those achieve a dramatic height, although they won't fully mature until 2075. "
