Howard Mausoleum
I had a reconnaissance trip out to the grounds around Castle Howard Howardian Hills after work yesterday to find some spots for a potential sunrise shot. I managed to get the bridge over the New River but a herd of cows prevented me from venturing further towards the Temple of the Four Winds. I managed a handful of OK shots of Castle Howard and the temple in sunset but this one of the Howardian Mausoleum, taken about half an hour after sunset, was by far the best of the bunch. I got lucky with the moon being in the right spot and the clouds rolling in, but that's photography eh?!
'The Mausoleum rises 90 feet into the air and is supported by a colonnade of 20 pillars. Designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, it is one the finest free-standing mausoleums in northern Europe.
Building began in 1729 but was not completed until after the deaths of both Hawskmoor and the 3rd Earl, who was originally buried in the local parish church and re-interred in the mausoleum six years later'. (Text from Castle Howard website)
