Kedleston Hall is an extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings, reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.

First time I had been to Wednesday late opening at Bodnant. I thought it would be quiet. Some hope! Must choose a rainy day next time. I sat waiting for the Laburnum arch to be free of folk but there was a photographer at the far end with a camera on a red mini tripod in view even though he or she was sitting on a bench out of frame. In the end I gave up and cloned it out in this shot. Second outing with the 16-35 F4L - is a quite awesome lens and better than the 17-40 L. I could have metered this better as, even in the evening, contrast is an issue if there is sunlight. There is movement in the petals unfortunately so it looks unsharp. Been wasting lots of ink today trying to get the yellow to print acceptably.
