Happy new year from Colombo, Sri Lanka. Long story short, I decided to establish my tripod just beneath a nest of crows and ended up being pooed upon for most of the evening. Problem is once you start taking a picture, you can't move for one hour! What i wouldn't do for a good picture!

This Gothic Temple folly at Stowe in Buckinghamshire is set in one of the world's most famous landscape gardens. It has a spiral staircase, roof terrace and is surrounded by vast parkland to explore. The gothic windows provide vistas of the monuments, lakes and temples in this 18th-century landscape.
This temple, built in 1741, was one of the last additions to the garden at Stowe, formed for Lord Cobham by Charles Bridgeman and his successor, William Kent. That same year, Capability Brown arrived as gardener, to begin his own transformation of the landscape.
My favourite tube station to shoot at night, I usually try from the other side on the busy Embankment road. But this time I was passing from the other direction after trying to get a good shot of Two Temple Place and noticed this composition.
The Temple station was opened in the parish of St. Clement Danes on 30 May 1870 by the District Railway (DR; now the District line) when the company extended its line from Westminster to St. Paul's station (now called Blackfriars). The construction of the new section of the DR was planned in conjunction with the building of the Victoria Embankment and was achieved by the cut and cover method of roofing over a shallow trench.
The DR connected to the Metropolitan Railway (MR; now the Metropolitan line) at South Kensington and, although the two companies were rivals, each company operated its trains over the other's tracks in a joint service known as the "Inner Circle".
