Gardens of Great Britain
This is a series of photographs taken in the many gardens we have visited over a long period time. It never ceases to amaze how many gardens there are and the variety they show, long may it continue.
Today’s contribution comes from Great Dixter, a garden we have visited quite a few times and never ceases to amaze. The planting is always brilliant.

Great Dixter House and Gardens, Northiam, East Sussex
Great Dixter was the family home of the Gardener and gardening writer Christopher Lloyd. His style of planting and placing of colour combinations is synonymous with Great Dixter itself, a vision for over 40 years. Now under the stewardship of Fergus Garrett and the Great Dixter Charitable Trust, it is a truly wonderful garden to visit. It is quite small but timeless. Bodiam Castle is only 4.5 miles away, so it would be very easy to combine the two visits together.
This is the first of a new series of photographs that I will post from Great Dixter. These were taken in June 2019. Please do look through my Album ‘Gardens of Sussex’ to see the earlier series of postings.

The Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity with St Jude or simply known as The Holy Trinity
Situated in Sloane Street, Upper Chelsea, London SW1X 9BZ. The church was built between 1888 and 1890 and was built in the Art and Crafts style. Designed by John Dando Sedding architect and funded by the 5th Earl Cadogan. The church did replace an earlier building only erected some 60 years before.
The church was built on a grand scale. It is apparently the widest church in London, a whole 9 inches (23cm) wider than St Paul’s Cathedral but not in length.
Although Sedding was the original designer he unfortunately died in 1891 and the work passed on to Henry Wilson. He completed the internal decoration to the original drawings did not entirely complete some of the glass. Other artisans including F.W. Pomeroy, H.H. Armstrong, Onslow Ford and Hamo Thorneycroft who also took part in design and sculpture.
The church is well endowed with beautiful stained glass windows. Works from William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, The Powell Co, Christopher Whall and William Blake-Richmond. There is an extremely large east window that was created by Burne-Jones and William Morris. Not all windows are stained, for instance the large west window remains clear glass, destroyed in enemy action and incredibly the others were saved. This window has yet to be complete to its original plan.
There was a plan mooted in the 60’s to demolish the building and replace it with a smaller one but due to the campaign led by Sir John Betjaman and The Victorian Society the building was saved from this fate and is now a thriving place of worship.
The organ was originally made by J.W. Walker & Sons and had its own chamber to rest in, a requirement of John Sedding, himself an organist. It was damaged during WWII but had repairs in 1947, more restoration in 1967 and in 2012 the completion of enlargement work by the firm of Harrison & Harrison.
Famous people connected with the church include: William Ewart Gladstone, Sir Charles Dilke both Liberal politicians, William Thesiger, the actor and many other notable persons of the time. Another notable person who is honoured with a plaque is Archibald Sturrock, Chief Engineer of the Great Northern Railway
Gladstone has a blue plaque erected at 11 Carlton Terrace, SW1Y 5AJ
and Dilke is honoured at 76 Sloane Street, SW1X 9SF for those that are interested. Alas Archibald Sturrock and William Thesiger have no blue plaques, not that I’m aware of.
London Scenes – Various – Part Three
As the title infers, these will be slices of London, hopefully including every aspect of life. Including Architecture, Sculpture, People, Graffiti, Transport, Doors and pretty much everything I have seen over the past 10 to 15 years of photography.
Created at night using multiple flashes. Two images merged and processed in Photoshop and Lightroom.
Hundertwasser's stunning ceramic-decorated fountain graces the entrance of the Hundertwasserhaus, one of Vienna's most captivating attractions. This vibrant social housing complex is a true masterpiece, where exterior motifs and shapes burst with color and imagination. The soil undulates, creating a unique landscape, and trees thrive within the confines of the buildings, transforming the interior into a living, breathing work of art.
The fountain's model is a classical Roman fountain, comprising five parts placed one on top of the other:
1. A concrete basin where the signs of the zodiac are inlaid into the bottom of the fountain in mosaic.
2. A ceramic basin with matte white, black and grey portions
3. A concrete-casting basin
4. A smaller pink ceramic basin
5. A concrete-casting angel on top

The Hundertwasser House in Vienna bears the unmistakable hand of the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000), whose birth name was Friedrich Stowasser. The colorfully decorated exterior façade of Hundertwasser House in Vienna draws attention to itself almost magically. Anyone who lives in the Hundertwasser House also has the right to decorate the façade around the windows entirely to their own taste. More than 200 trees and shrubs on the balconies and roof terraces make the Hundertwasserhaus a green oasis in the heart of the city. The Hundertwasserhaus can only be viewed from outside.
