Kingston Lacy is a country house and estate near Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England. It was for many years the family seat of the Bankes family who lived nearby at Corfe Castle until its destruction in the English Civil War after its incumbent owners, Sir John Bankes and Dame Mary, had remained loyal to Charles I.
The house was built between 1663 and 1665 by Ralph Bankes, son of Sir John Bankes, to a design by the architect Sir Roger Pratt. It is a rectangular building with two main storeys, attics and basement, modelled on Chevening in Kent. The gardens and parkland were laid down at the same time, including some of the specimen trees that remain today. Various additions and alterations were made to the house over the years and the estate remained in the ownership of the Bankes family from the 17th to the late 20th century.
The house was designated as a Grade I listed building in 1958 and the park and gardens are included in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens at Grade II. The house was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1982 after the death of Henry John Ralph Bankes, along with Corfe Castle. The house and gardens are open to the public.

Thought to have been built originally in the mid-17th century, Kingston Bagpuize House, in the village of Kingston Bagpuize, as seen now is the result of innumerable changes by its many owners over subsequent centuries. Although today it remains in private hands as a much-loved family home, it is regularly opened to the public and made available for films and television (e.g. 'Downton Abbey').
For those that don’t recognize this scene immediately it is of the Kingston Ontario waterfront during an evening promise of a great tomorrow. Kingston has always been about the water sitting on the Eastern side of Lake Ontario at the convergence of the St Lawrence river and the Cataraqui river (now the Rideau canal). Also captured in this shot is the Island Queen, a Mississippi paddlewheel triple decked tourist boat that sails a 3-hour route through the many islands that surround the nearby waterways.

An offseason beach stroll in Kingston. In the hour we were there we encountered 1 dog walker and 1 other family of 3. Peace, cold and quite.
One of my favourite long exposures of last summer (2019), the sunrise on my last day in Kingston, Ontario (the gateway to the 1000 islands, Canadian side).
Almost missed it as was having a late lunch with my son along the riverside - but just caught the end of the sunset and the sky just after the golden hour.
A pebbly beach on Lake Ontario in Kingston.
I wanted to title it, "Pebble Beach, CA" but too many would have thought that I was refering to a golf course in California. With good reason, I guess, because that California CA is actually a little more populated than this Canada CA.

The Hogsmill River in Surrey and Greater London, England, is a small chalk stream tributary of the River Thames. It rises in Ewell and flows into the Thames at Kingston upon Thames on the lowest non-tidal reach, that above Teddington Lock.
The river is 10 km (6 mi) long and has a catchment area of about 73 km2 (28 sq mi). Nearby land was formerly flood-meadows; following improvements it is now mostly sports grounds, a sewage treatment works and green space, save for Kingston and Epsom town centres. It is a habitat of many animals, fish and insects.

I have taken photos of this grand house many times although I think this is the first time I have captured it without any people in the scene.

Despite being the primary rail artery between Toronto and Montreal, CN's Kingston Sub is no stranger to infrastructure that would otherwise be considered outdated on mainlines elsewhere on the continent. The searchlight signals governing the Newtonville crossovers date back to the implementation of Centralized Traffic Control half a century ago. The telegraph poles on the right are even older, dating to 1903 when this section of the line was double-tracked and realigned a short distance to the north of its original 1856 alignment. Eventually this will all be gone, including the subject of this photo: VIA 902 with a consist of LRC cars. Soon VIA's new Siemens trainsets will enter service and this aging secondhand equipment will be seen only in photographs.
