Probably my personal favourite view, this is the 'Queen Elizabeth Island' in the Lake created by Capability Brown at Blenheim, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
One of the features of Capability Brown's landscape is the way that certain areas serve as focal points, the island is viewed from many different locations throughout the park, and the views of it depend greatly on the viewpoint and the light at the time.
Here the island is seen towards midday on a December day that started with a frost that has now burnt off, however, it's very still as can be seen by the reflection of the island in the lake. Behind the island can be seen the tower of Woodstock Church.
