You'd never guess by looking at 'em that this l'il pooch once ate a nine-year-old boy named Nathan.
Ate 'em WHOLE.
If you do you can see the lines going across the trees. I tried like 5 or 6 different shots but I couldn't get the lines to come out any stronger so I went with this one because the columns are bright and really contrast with the background.
A view through the "Squint" in the Crystal Grotto at Painshill, Cobham, Surrey.
It is believed that this view from inside the Crystal Grotto through the opening above one of the pools, then through the opening at the main chamber end of the tunnel and finally through the opening at the beginning of the tunnel, was used to view visitors arriving at the Grotto allowing enough time for one of Charles Hamilton's workers to start the water system running - a neat piece of 18th Century ingenuity.
The people viewed through the hole in this photo are actually not approaching the Grotto, but are on the path on the far side of the lake.
