Stowe Landscape Gardens were created from the 1700s when Sir Richard Temple employed the best garden designers and architects. The Temple family continued this work over several generations.

The HDR consists of three handheld exposures at EV -2.0, 0.0 and +2.0 taken using a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II prime lens; the software used was Dynamic-Photo HDR.

The Gardens boast one of the finest tree collections in the world, set on banks around a great lake. The famous Pantheon, Temple of Flora and Temple of Apollo (where Darcy first proposed to Elizabeth in the new Pride and Prejudice Film) form the centre-point for countless vistas from around the garden, inspired by classic Renaissance landscape paintings.

This is my local nature reserve which is a short walk from where I live. Although I love walking along the coast, it is also great to have some walks that you can do straight from home without the need to drive.

The Belogradchik Rocks are a group of bizarre sandstone and limestone rock formations, reaching up to 200 m in height. They form a strip, which is 30 km long and up to 3 km wide, and are located north of the western slopes of Stara Planina, near the town of Belogradchik in Bulgaria. The formations are a product of erosion.

The rocks were declared a natural landmark in 1949 and consist of four independent groups. Every distinct rock is named after an object it is believed to resemble and the formations vary from red through yellow to grey in colour.

The Belogradchik Fortress, also known as Kaleto (“the fortress” from Turkish kale), is one of the best-preserved strongholds in Bulgaria and a cultural monument of national importance. The fortress’ walls are over 2 m thick in the foundation and reaching up to 12 m in height. Three separate fortified yards exist that are connected with each other through gates. The fortress has a total area of 10,210 m².

The initial fortress was constructed during the time when the region was part of the Roman Empire. The rock formations in the area served as a natural protection, as fortified walls were practically only built from the northwest and southeast, with the yard being surrounded by rocks up to 70 metres high from the other sides.
