2008-02-10-139 Blenheim Grand Bridge with reflection & Column of Victory

A view of the Blenheim Grand Bridge with the Column of Victory commemorating the Battle of Blenheim (Blindheim) in 1704). This view has opened up recently following the death and felling of trees around the bridge abutment. New trees have been planted, but it will be a few decades before they are mature! The Column is based on a Hawksmoor design; the bridge was designed by Vanbrugh, but not fully completed, and the Lake was created 50 years after the bridge was built by "Capability Brown"
