Description
Taken at the ancient Warwick Castle the atmosphere of magnificent Warwick Castle is redolent of secrecy, mystery and intrigue with thousands of years of British history.. I had arrived yet again on an overcast day that later turned into heavy rain.. I chose to get a few images from the wonderful grounds... Not the best of conditions, but I think it sort of went with the mood of the place..
Across the bridge lies the island where the river Avon separates and flows on either side. On this large area of land is a Victorian boathouse, and here during the 1890s the Countess of Warwick kept a small menagerie comprising a baby Elephant, some Japanese deer, a flock of Chinese geese, an Emu, Raccoons, and an Antbear. When the Elephant grew too large, it was given away to an animal trainer in Lymington, while the Emu achieved fame when it chased a bishop around the Castle Grounds..

The reflections in the water are fantastic, really helps the atmosphere in this shot
A beautiful tranquil scene with lovely tones to the reflections in the water. The grass looks really lush and the sky adds a really moody atmosphere. (And isn't it always the way, overcast and dull when you go somewhere specifically for photographing!!! sigh!) Excellent capture. xx
