Unseen Castle Howard - it was closed to the public
There really are some unseen parts of Castle Howard that inspired me more than the House itself though it is a National treasure. maybe Iw was looking at it from a different perspective altogether. But here goes.

Great views and wonderful photographs. Are you kidding when you refer to the insect house as a 'wierd wooden structure'?
I like the composure of the brown pots with blue glazing.

Thank you both for your comments bits of the narrative were tongue in cheek so reference to the groundsmans creation was just that the suicide run with regret was not

Thank you all for your comments re Brideshead springs to mind these were all taken out side the Castle Howard walls as the grounds were closed views were taken from the garden centre on many on 30 x opt zoom . As for the narrative I try to keep the interest of the observer not just through images but text as well
Thank you all for your input and taking the time to look
