It was such a gorgeous day when I went to Bolton Abbey recently. The sun came out and when the trees are golden, the effect is magical.
The fountain pictured in the distance, erected in 1886, is a memorial to Lord Frederick Cavendish, second son of the 7th Duke of Devonshire, who was murdered in Phoenix Park, Dublin by Irish National Invincibles in 1882, shortly after his appointment as Chief Secretary for Ireland.
Taking photos into the bright sun was a little tricky but this is a good viewpoint from which to see the abbey ruins.
In contrast, looking the other way revealed quite a dramatic stormy sky.
