I was looking through my older pictures and I came across Mini-Mote. He was inspired by Tyler Clites' perfect E-mote and SHE-mote creations. Feeling nostalgic, I decided I would rebuild mine just for fun, this time he is bigger and stronger-built. ;)
More to come!

Highlights include the picturesque courtyard, Great Hall, crypt, Tudor painted ceiling, Grade I listed dog kennel and the private apartments of Charles Henry Robinson, who gave Ightham Mote to the National Trust in 1985.

I am chuffed to have my only entry into Scottish Landscape Photographer of the year 2016 shortlisted for the 'Urban Category'.
I had originally planned to go and photography the Wallace Monument in Stirling,with its great autumnal background, but the conditions weren't right so I thought i would go for a scouting mission and shoot the shot another day when conditions were better.
I always say to people who come on my workshops to 'look behind you' I am glad I took my own advice,as the mist was settling over Stirling and these 2 Japanese tourists were taking in the sights from a misty Mote Hill.
Press L to be there.
Ightham Mote is one of the best preserved, and certainly one of the most beautiful, moated manor houses in England. The house dates back to the 14th century. The name presents a challenge to linguists; Ightham may refer to an early settler of the region, named Ehta or Ohta. Mote may refer to the moat which surrounds the manor, or it may equally well be a derivative of 'moot', a gathering place.
The manor is arranged as four wings around a cobbled courtyard. The house is approached over a footbridge across a moat, which laps at the outer walls of all four wings. The original 14th century house was composed simply of a great hall with a cluster of other domestic buildings and one bridge giving access on the west range. By the 15th century there were four wings, and a second bridge on the northwest range. In the 16th century a grand Gatehouse Tower was added on the west range.
