Lovely. Just shows that if you want to have a good memorial, you should create it yourself.

Nice shot Dave, I was there in 2007 and loved it, Were the gardens in flower :

Amazing place.

This is a shot I took of the lily pond. Don't mean to hijack your thread and will take it down if you wish.

Very nice place and well captured Dave. If it were not for all the tourists taking photographs, I could happily spend an hour or three there.

Clarky, yours looks a bit over-saturated to my eyes. Nice composition, though.

Clarky, it was getting late into the summer so the gardens were past their best. Plenty of tourists though as you can see.

There were plenty of tourists when I was there, but still enjoyable.

Yes. Less dramatic, but more realistic.

Must get there one day.
