We're Here - **Over-the-Top Tuesday**
Ha ha...guess I'd better put a description in! It's a heather plant in bloom. The Over-the-Top group suggests we take something we enjoy photographing and do an over-the-top version. I like photographing flowers, so I went zoom crazy on it! And because I had to position myself literally "over the top" of the plant, it works on that level too. Boo ya!
Put some zing into your 365! Join We're Here!
Following my note to make HDR image from one single RAW file
www.eos550d.com/2010/07/single-file-hdr/
and removing the detail from the picture using Lightroom 3 to make it looks like a painting.
(After I updated the picture from the Lightroom the comments are all gone :(, sorry for that people)
As I sat there like that in the sun, I bowed my head unconsciously as if to take in even more of that new feeling for life. Suddenly I knew deep down how someone can sink impetuously to his knees and find peace there, his face hidden in his folded hands.

Sunday 13th June
Last March, we booked this overnight stay in Oxfordshire so that we could visit Waddesdon Manor. Sadly, what we fancied doing in March isn’t necessarily what we fancy doing in June. Waddesdon Manor is full of art treasures. Well, after overdosing on art treasures at Knole and Petworth House in the last few weeks, it really wasn’t what we were in the mood for at all.
HOWEVER, to our surprise, we had a rather enjoyable time here. We didn’t linger too long in the rooms, some of the rooms even looked surprisingly liveable in (Louise particularly liked the two dining rooms we saw). There were a couple of art treasures that we took a long time looking at, and an interesting display of textiles.
The manor house was built between the 1870s and 1890s to house the Rothschild’s growing collection of treasure, and to be somewhere for the families to weekend (it never was intended as a permanent home). It was styled on a French Renaissance chateau.
The main downside to our visit here was the lack of sensible information for disabled visitors. Signage was very poor, with no indication of distance to various features, or, more importantly if you’re using a wheelchair, of how steep paths were (and some of them were very steep indeed). Also for poor Colin, many of the paths were of gravel, which made it particularly hard work pushing the wheelchair.
