Thorp Perrow's water features


The gardens at Thorp Perrow have a couple of lakes, ponds and a stream running through. On a very drizzly, almost misty, day, it was interesting how the light rendered the water differently in different places, depending on the tree cover and adjacent colours. So... four images, four distinctive and diverse representations. 



Thorp Perrow Hall (above) is not open to the public. It was built in the early 18th century and remodelled in the 1800s. The gardens and arboretum were the creation of Colonel Sir Leonard Ropner (1895-1977) and still belong to his family, who I assume live in the Hall.

  2. Some of these look almost like fairy tale illustrations!

  3. I was going to say something similar to Monica; it really looks like out of a fairy tale.
    That second picture is breathtakingly beautiful.
