Back to Fenny Compton for this 1990 shot of 47337 'Herbert Austin' at the head of these empty cartics bound for Washwood Heath.
This is from a visit to Compton Castle, an impressive fortified manor house, part of the National Trust.
I found it challenging to take a photo without any people in it before I found that spot from the formal gardens towards the front of the house. I liked how the black and white treament adds a lot of drama and atmosphere although the weather was quite lovely that day.

Compton Verney is an award-winning art gallery located in a beautiful 18th century Grade I listed mansion built by Robert Adam. The house is set in over 120 acres of landscaped grounds designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. There was a manor at Compton Verney at least as early as 1150.
Outside the gallery was a colourful installation by Morag Myerscough, rather more colourful when the sun is shining on it.

usually I wouldn't use a such a filter but this is a child's story, a fantasy, a romance, between seasons, between trees....
Compton Verney's grounds are parkland with mature trees, and a one or two sections with topiary bushes. Here in the car park they have planted some roses, however - I think this is Rosa Mundi. They almost look edible.
Compton Verney, near Kineton in Warwickshire, was requisitioned by the Army during World War II and became vacant when the war ended. In 1993 it was bought in a run-down state by the Peter Moores Foundation, a charity supporting music and the visual arts established by former Littlewoods chairman Sir Peter Moores. The property was restored to a gallery capable of hosting international exhibitions. Compton Verney Art Gallery is now run by Compton Verney House Trust, a registered charity, and is open to the public.
The latest in a series of red phone box 'creations' by local florist Chris Sharples marking Easter.
White Storks will surely choose a nest higher off the ground than this phone box when the time comes, but its still quite eye-catching. Look closely and you will see two chicks too.
