High up, Low down - -# 09/94

Another snap taken during my little episode high up on the roof of Ham House. The formality of the 17th century garden is best viewed from up high where you never can be. In the 18th century the English Landscape movement took over and the style changed.

It's just a snap, so please forgive the cut off corner, the tilting horizon etc. and the inclusion of the edge of the roof.

  2. Hi Stuart! This is great! No reason to complain... The edge would be difficult to avoid or you would land some metres down... ;)

  5. Cette image me fait penser à deux livres différents : "Pride and Prejudice" de Jane Austen, pour la promenade d'Elizabeth avec Darcy dans la forêt qui prolonge la jardin, ou "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" de Lewis Carroll....
