Room with a view

This rather splendid Cotswold stone house overlooks the Duke of Marlborough's estate, aka Blenheim Palace, in the village of Woodstock just north of Oxford.  Mind you, I'm not sure the Duke is too worried about being seen as he's getting dressed in the morning, as his gaff is at least half a mile away, with trees and lake in between.  

HP5+, Moersch Easylith on Slavich paper.

I was standing just inside the grounds of the estate when taking this shot, with Blenheim Palace some way behind me.  Ironically, the owners of this house have the better view.  In fact, they have an incredible view.  The downside is that they have to put up with hundreds of visitors passing by every day...some even with cameras, although I'm sure 99.99% have them pointed the other way, towards the palace.  There's always one, though, isn't there? ;)

  1. That's a great photograph. Very nicely balanced and printed. Where is Slavich paper from?

    1. Thank you Marcus, appreciated.

      Slavich is from Russia. It's not always easy to get - and I guess it might have become even more difficult given the current 'situation'.
