This could almost be Chatsworth in Derbyshire and that's because Capability Brown had a hand in both. It's actually Wrest Park, Bedfordshire.
Looking like a French chateau, this house was at Wrest Park dates from the 1830s, set in C18th grounds. The formal gardens and canal were created by Amabel Benn, and his son, Anthony, the 11th Earl of Kent in the 1700s and improved upon by successive generations.
In 1833, Thomas Robinson, 2nd Earl de Grey inherited the estate. He demolished the old house and built a new one between 1834 – 39.
Since 1900 its fortunes have changed. It was rented to the American ambassador for a while and used as a convalescent home and military hospital in WWI but in 1916 a fire meant they were evacuated and never returned. In 1917 it was sold and then fell into decline. From 1948 it was home to the National Institute of Agricultural Engineering, later the Silsoe Research Institute. When they closed in 2006, English Heritage took over. the house.

China's new-style missile boats reach combat capability
According to a report by CCTV, a fleet of new-style catamaran missile speedboats independently developed by China recently entered a designated sea area for a live-ammunition confrontation exercise on schedule. All missiles hit the target, marking the comprehensive formation of combat capability of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy's first new-style missile boat force.
In light of the sophistication and high technological content of the new military equipment, a speedboat brigade of the PLA Navy's East Sea Fleet successfully completed training courses by adopting the approach of "synchronizing deployment and training, testing and training," and by gradually strengthening the training for night-time multi-round missile attacks, interference and anti-interference. It took just one year to complete all necessary full-function, full-system training related to the new equipment.
The new-style missile speedboats have already safely sailed tens of thousands of nautical miles and completed multiple key exercises. The missile boat force has basically acquired combat capabilities such as attacks under a complex electromagnetic environment and long-range missile attacks.

Grounds designed by Lancelot Brown (1716 – 6 February 1783), more commonly known as Capability Brown, was an English landscape gardener. He is remembered as "the last of the great English eighteenth-century artists to be accorded his due", and "England's greatest gardener". He designed over 170 parks, many of which still endure.Compton Verney House, the present mansion, was built by George Verney, twelfth Lord Willoughby de Broke in 1714. In 1780, the fourteenth Earl employed Robert Adam for the purpose of carrying out major extensions to the manor. The grounds were landscaped by Lancelot "Capability" Brown who constructed two lakes almost a mile long from a number of smaller pools. The house was bought in 1993 in a run-down state by Littlewoods millionaire Sir Peter Moores, and restored into an art gallery capable of hosting international exhibitions.

A masterpiece of automotive engineering belonging to the legendary G-Class, the Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet surpasses itself. It combines luxury with a powerful engine and superior off-road capability like hardly any other vehicle before it. The open-top off-road vehicle unites two traditions: first, the Mercedes-Benz Landaulets that have typified open-air exclusivity and the highest level of comfort for over 100 years; and secondly, the G-Class that has been the benchmark for off-road performance since 1979.
The extraordinary G650 Landaulet is one of only 99 built by Mercedes-Maybach. With its superlative V12 engine, portal axles, electric fabric top and exclusive equipment specification in the rear compartment, this G-Class variant meets the expectations of customers who demand the very highest standards of their vehicle and want their open-top driving to be as exclusive as it is stylish.
The G650 Landaulet has the following vital statistics: a length of 5,345 millimetres, a wheelbase of 3,428 millimetres, a height of 2,235 millimetres, and almost half a metre of ground clearance, as well as ample space and comfort for four passengers. "An off-road vehicle that is out of this world," is how AutoBild put it following the presentation of the luxury off-roader.
This extravagant G-Class represents a unique combination of luxurious chauffeur-driven limousine and capable off-roader. While the driver and front passenger are accommodated under the closed roof, the rear passengers can enjoy maximum open-air pleasure as and when desired. They climb aboard via an electrically extending side-step, and at the press of a button a large folding top opens to offer a view of the sky. The rear passengers enjoy the majestic open-air experience from their single seats within a lounge-like atmosphere, familiar from the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. An electrically operated glass partition separates the rear compartment from the driver's section. In addition, the glass can be changed from transparent to opaque at the press of a button.
Thanks to the 578 millimetre longer wheelbase compared with the standard G-Class, the passengers in the Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet benefit from greater freedom of movement. The electrically multi-way adjustable individual seats can be conveniently set to a fully reclined position. The active multi-contour seats with Energizing massage function have inflatable air chambers to provide maximum seating comfort and excellent lateral support. Massage programmes relax tense muscles following the principle of a relaxing hot-stone massage. In addition, the seats can be ventilated – a relief on strenuous safaris, for example!
The rear seating is augmented by a calf rest, which is freely adjustable in length and swivel range. The rear passenger area strongly resembles the cockpit not only on account of the single seats, but also on account of the passenger grab handles typical of the G-Class as well as a glove compartment for each rear passenger. The other appointments of the G 650 Landaulet leave nothing to be desired. A large business console with thermal cup holders for keeping drinks cool or warm is located between the individual seats. The controls for opening or closing the glass partition are installed behind the cup holders. In addition, there is a control panel in the front and the rear.
In the front, the control panel can be used to operate the differential locks, while in the rear the similar control panel has a button for the interior lighting and two more buttons to open and close the soft-top. Similar to an aircraft seat, the centre console comes with two tables, which can be easily folded in or out with one hand. The tabletops have leather inserts to provide a comfortable writing surface or to facilitate the use of tablets and notebooks. The buttons in front of the cup holders regulate the air conditioning in the rear. And great entertainment is always ensured: the cross-member, which holds the glass partition, accommodates two 25.4 cm (10") high-resolution media displays.
The luxurious, exquisite character of the Landaulet is emphasised by the high-grade Designo upholstery with diamond stitching. This example has beige trim. As with all G-Class vehicles, the off-roader is produced almost completely by hand in the G-Class manufacturing facility at Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.
'V12 BITURBO' lettering on the front wings points to the ultimate in motive power, the 12-cylinder engine. The radiator grille features a chrome-plated double louvre and a chrome-plated screen, while 'LANDAULET' lettering is worked into the rim flanges of the ceramically polished, 55.9 cm (22") five-star twin-spoke light-alloy wheels. Other exclusive exterior design features include front and rear rock guards, large wheel-arch flares in genuine carbon fibre as well as, mounted on the right at the rear, the spare wheel with integral holder for the third brake light.
As is customary with the off-road icon, the 'G' is forever breaking new ground: unlike previous Landaulets, which were based on prestigious saloons, the Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet also has what it takes to deliver an unforgettable off-road experience. Familiar from the AMG G63 6x6 and G500 4x42, the portal axles provide ample ground clearance of 450 millimetres. This allows the open-top all-terrain vehicle to overcome even extreme obstacles in masterly fashion. In contrast to a conventional rigid axle, the wheels are not at the height of the axle centre, but are instead situated much further down on the axle heads owing to the portal transmission. Tyres of size 325/55 R 22 form the ideal basis for perfect handling off-road. Of course it goes without saying that the typical 100 percent differential locks are a key component of this exceptional 'G', as well as the low range in the transfer case.
The combination of the permanent all-wheel drive with the electronically controlled traction system 4ETS, ESP®, the low range gearbox and the differential locks mean that this G-Class is well able to meet off-road demands, while offering on-road driving safety typical of Mercedes-Benz.
The electronic traction system 4ETS turns on automatically when one or more wheels lose traction and brakes them individually. This simultaneously increases the drive torque on the wheels that have sufficient traction. 4ETS directs the drive force to the wheels with the best traction, making snow-covered and icy roads as well as demanding off-road tracks significantly easier to manage. The permanent all-wheel drive is designed for maximum traction and distributes the power to the front and rear axle at a ratio of 50:50. The three 100% differential locks bring the drive force to where traction is best. They can be individually engaged while driving. The grip of just one wheel suffices for propulsion, while the low range ensures maximum traction on difficult ground, for example in mud or sand. It can be engaged via the low range switch in transmission mode N at speeds of up to 40 km/h.
Superior driving comfort comes courtesy of the most powerful engine available - the Mercedes-AMG V12 biturbo - which delivers a maximum output of 630bhp with a peak torque of 1,000 Nm. The strengths of the 12-cylinder biturbo engine include its effortless acceleration in all speed ranges as well as its refined operation with the distinctive V12 sound typical of AMG. In short: the powertrain ensures a superior and stylish performance.
Finished in lovely dark blue with beige interior, this beautiful Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet was delivered new to Germany and has covered only 1,585 kilometres from new. The vehicle is offered with German registration documents, German TüV and Certificate of Conformity.
Just how desirable these ultra-rare luxury off-roaders are may be gauged from the fact that the first one ever to be offered publicly was sold by Bonhams, at our Zoute sale in October 2017, for a staggering €1,200,000, a world record price.

Stowe landscape garden is most notably the work of two people: Lord Cobham and his nephew, Earl Temple. At one time this family was once richer than the king. The Temple family spent a fortune creating and extending the garden to further their political ambitions. Stowe was 'Capability' Brown's first major commission. Stowe reached its social peak in 1822 when Richard Temple was created 1st Duke of Buckingham, but by this time his and his ancestors extravagence had taken the family to the brink of financial ruin with debts of more than £1 million. The 2nd Duke fled and the scandel rocked the English aristocracy.
Stowe was rescued in 1922, when it was turned into a school.

To give a great idea of the zoom capability of the Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 here's a pic of an Amazon Boeing 767 traveling at ~14,000 feet, at ~350 knots from Cincinnati to Miami. The reason I know the stats is thanks to an app I have on my phone called FlightRadar24. Highly recommend if you're interested in aircraft. It gives you all the information about every plane and helicopter flying around in the sky, 24/7......for the entire planet. You just load the app, hold your phone up to the sky, and then it shows you every plane/heli going on in the region.

This camera is AMAZING in terms of getting clear shots of moving objects. To be able to zoom in at something that high up and be as clear as this, and to be able to clearly read "Amazon" on the underside of the plane is just WOW. O.o Where we live in Boca is right in the flight path of so many planes and jets, thanks to how many airports are in the region. There's Palm Beach International, ~22 miles north of us. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, ~20 miles to the south, and then Miami International, ~40 miles to the south. The latter two have flight paths that take any north-originating aircraft directly over us. Typically New York/New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia, D.C., Baltimore, Charlotte, Atlanta and Orlando. Then we also have Boca Raton Municipal Airport only about one mile away, and further south Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, and Pompano Beach Air Park, all handling the smaller corporate jets, helicopters, Cessnas, Beeches, etc.
So just TONS of lower altitude aircraft activity happening here, which is cool.

Sheffield Park Garden is an informal landscape garden five miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex, England. It was originally laid out in the 18th century by Capability Brown, and further developed in the early years of the 20th century's by its then owner, Arthur Gilstrap Soames. It is now owned by the National Trust.
History[edit]
The gardens originally formed part of the estate of the adjacent Sheffield Park House, a gothic country house, which is still in private ownership. It was also firstly owned by the West Family and later by the Soames family until in 1925 the estate was sold by Arthur Granville Soames, who had inherited it from his childless uncle, Arthur Gilstrap Soames.
Sheffield Park as an estate is mentioned in the Domesday Book. In August 1538, Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, entertained Henry VIII here. By 1700, the Deer Park had been partially formalised by Lord De La Warr who planted avenues of trees radiating from the house and cleared areas to establish lawns. In the late 1700s, James Wyatt remodelled the house in the fashionable Gothic style and Capability Brown was commissioned to landscape the garden. The original four lakes form the centrepiece. Humphry Repton followed Brown in 1789–1790. In 1796, the estate was sold to John Holroyd, created Baron Sheffield in 1781. It is particularly noted for its plantings of trees selected for autumn colour, including many Black Tupelos.
Rhododendron in Sheffield Park Garden
By 1885, an arboretum was being established, consisting of both exotic and native trees. After Arthur Gilstrap Soames purchased the estate in 1910, he continued large-scale planting. During World War II the house and garden became the headquarters for a Canadian armoured division, and Nissen huts were sited in the garden and woods. The estate was split up and sold in lots in 1953. The National Trust purchased approximately 40 ha in 1954, now up to 80 ha with subsequent additions. It is home to the National Collection of Ghent azaleas.
In 1876 the third Earl of Sheffield laid out a cricket pitch. It was used on 12 May 1884 for the first cricket match between England and Australia.[1] The Australian team won by an innings and 6 runs

Terrace Gardens
The south-facing Terrace Gardens in front of the Georgian House were commissioned by the 3rd Marquess to remind him of his time in Italy.
The upper terrace, designed by Sir Robert Smirke, was completed in 1818 and the lower terrace, designed by George Kennedy, was added in 1851.
The upper and lower terraces are separated by ornamental stone balustrades decorated with urns which, during the summer months, overflow with colourful flowers.
The distinctive leaning yews were planted in 1900, and over the years they have grown towards the sun creating a unique design.
The terrace gardens provide a view of the magnificent parkland, created by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.
