Cragside

A few random shots from a lovely few hours spent wandering around Cragside House and gardens:

 

 

 

 

Only had a 18-55mm and a 50mm so couldn't get close enough for a good shot - which is a shame as it was a monster:

 

 

iPhone + Instagram:

 

 

 

 

 

I did all the classic shots and views but I've posted them before so these are just for fun.

Ooh, a lovely set. I particularly like 2 and 6.

Love the shots of the emperor dragonfly, but also the first one appeals to my sense of simplicity.

 

All good shots btw

Emperor - cool, wondered what it was.

A very nice set - it's the Instagram work that gets the biggest thumbs-up from me, but no real surprise there.

 

I just love the glass blocks image - couldn't you have sent one of the kids round to peep through one of the blocks?

Nice idea but we were upstairs so I may have got frowns from the staff.

I particularly like the first, and the final 4.

I agree with Chris - the first one is my fave - it's almost.... relaxing...

Nice set, BP. I had to Google Cragside, and it looks a lovely interesting place. Love the first one, and also the glass blocks, and the reflection in the copper pan. 

 

The last plant looks very much like an Aeonium, which we grow in our garden out here.

A smashing collection.

The spider web grabs my attention and the window shots are unusual and interesting, but they are all very good.
