Hatfield House, the seat of the marquesses of Salisbury, has been owned by the Gascoyne-Cecil family since the early 17th century. The magnificent Jacobean house was built for King James I's chief minister, Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, between 1607 and 1612. The house is surrounded by delightful gardens, covering an area of some 42 acres; these were originally laid out by John Tradescant the Elder during the 17th century. The adjoining Hatfield Estate, said to be the largest private one in Hertfordshire, runs to around 8,500 acres, according to some estimates. This photograph shows a detail of the superb stained glass window of the Chapel. It dates from 1610 and was designed by three artists, Louis Dauphin, Richard Butler and Martin van Bentheim. This panel depicts the the prophet Elijah in his fiery chariot. The chapel miraculously surivived a fire in 1835, which killed the wife of the first marquess and destroyed most of the west wing.

Natural woodland is so much more attractive than the horribly mutilated coppices. Old trees fall and make clearings giving light for new ones to grow.
The lines on Dan's hat frame this picture. The blurred stone background mekes you focus on his face. The contour of the outline of his hat, then his profile, then his coat give a sense of continuity and softness down the centre of the picture.
