Painshill revisited

Cobham, Surrey

This day last year, I was at Painshill Park, in Cobham, Surrey, a restored eighteenth century landscape garden.

One of Painshill’s famous follies, the Gothic Temple, is seen above, reflected in one of the arches of the bridge. Below, another folly, the Ruined Abbey is situated picturesquely on the bank of the lake.

The image below is the only one I shared at the time.  Another folly appears with the Gothic Temple, the Chinese Bridge.

Painshill’s working vineyard produces a nice sparkling white.

Seen below, the Turkish Tent is another of Painshill’s follies.

For the techies, I used a .6 ND hard grad for these shots, and a circular polariser, of course. I have written several other posts about this favourite location of mine. Just click on the tags, Painshill or Painshill Park to find them.

  1. The skies and reflections are stunning! Beautiful work.

    I really need to invest in a ND filter and polarizer. And perhaps a decent wide angle lens this year.
