A still evening at Cradle Mountain, Dove Lake, Tasmania.
I took quite a few this night and every time I process a new one it has its own unique character. So dark and so still - a magical place.

Compton Acres Garden, Poole, Dorset
The gardens are situated at 164 Canford Cliffs, POOLE, Dorset, BH13 7ES. It is a privately owned garden, founded in 1920 by Thomas William Simpson. He was a business man whose wealth came from the production of Margarine.
From the 1920s – 1930s he began to create a series of enclosed gardens, seven in all, at the staggering cost of £220k. They were filled with sculptures and other architectural features.
The thought was, that even at an early stage of its construction that it was going to be a ‘tourist attraction’.
Unfortunately Mr Simpson died in 1944, this was followed by another death in the form of Mr. Middleton, the Head Gardener. These deaths plus the call-up of other staff lead to the gardens falling into disrepair. In 1950 the garden were sold to J. Stanley Beard a London architect who was responsible for a programme of restoration and by 1952 now complete, it was open to the public.
During that time new paths were laid, many other plantings were carried out. It changed hands again in 1964 but it still remained open. Since then the main house was sold as was part of the northern and southern boundary plus some of the woodland.
The garden now is divided between five smaller sub-gardens:
The Italian Garden: When you first see this garden from the end of the pond looking down to the Domed Temple it is spectacular. At the top end are two statues representing Wrestlers of Herculaneum. The pond itself is surrounded with brightly coloured planting and in the water are many water lilies and a fountain. To the left is the Italianate Villa with its brightly painted walls and statues on the roof and as you walk down the path other shrubs and manicured bushes. There are quite a few seats dotted around so that you can enjoy the experience.
The Wooded Valley: Here the woodland of Pine trees, where Rhododendrons and Camelias grow in some abundance. Winding footpaths and waterfalls along with other plants such as Ferns and Foxgloves make a wonderful setting.
Rock and Water Garden: There is a thought that Compton Acres has the largest rock garden in private hands in England. It consists of over 300 different plants which include alpines, conifers, spring and summer bulbs.
The Heather Garden: Here, there is a garden, again with many different species of Heather, some not easily grown in other gardens but the south coast has a much better climate enabling them to thrive. It is at its best in Spring, although it is still a very colourful space throughout the year.
The Japanese Garden: There is an odd shaped pool which is surrounded by Bamboos, Azelea and Maples. Wonderful colours, together with a collection of figures, lanterns, stone pagodas and a thatched Japanese-style summerhouse. This is covered in Wisteria in season. Many of the items were purchased in Japan, even the fish were exported under licence.
The garden covers 10 acres, it has many pieces of sculpture and architectural features scattered throughout the site. It also has a tea-room, a very important place which does nice tea and cake. What could be better after the experience of seeing the garden?
Someone owns the property around this lovely pond, replete with migrating ducks. Located near Bishop, in the Volcanic Tablelands, a vast volcanic landscape that was formed over 700,000 years ago by materials spewing from the Long Valley caldera. More to come ...
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Well, it felt like a private view to me because when I was at this place yesterday I had it all to myself. It was a most beautiful day and I felt as if nothing in my life was wrong. I love days like that, days where I feel just happy to be alive. I wish everyday was like that but unfortunately life just isn't like that. I am happy to say that I have many more good days than bad ones and I am grateful for that. Well, this will be my last image for this evening. I do hope that you enjoy it. I really adore this place. I went back there today but I left my camera at home.

So I guess it is just sign that is going to keep you out of there. I don't know how effective that will be, but each to their own.
Happy Fence Friday

Private Eye (engl. für Privatdetektiv) ist eine Satirezeitschrift, die in London herausgegeben wird.
Gründer waren Richard Ingrams, Willie Rushton, Peter Usborne, Christopher Booker und Andrew Osmond nach ihrem Studium. Großteils ist die Zeitschrift hintergründig und eine gewisse Allgemeinbildung erfordernd, was ihre landesweite Popularität nicht verhindert.
Private Eye is a British fortnightly satirical and current affairs news magazine, founded in 1961 It is published in London and has been edited by Ian Hislop since 1986. The publication is widely recognised for its prominent criticism and lampooning of public figures. It is also known for its in-depth investigative journalism into under-reported scandals and cover-ups.

"Sometimes I'm alone but never lonely
That's what I've come to realize
I've learned to love the quiet moments
The Sunday mornings of life
Where I can reach deep down inside
Or out into the universe
I can laugh until I cry
Or I can cry away the hurt"
- India Arie, Private Party
