Alphabet Project | G is for grotto

Thank you to everyone that joined the Alphabet Photography Project for letter F last week.

This week I bring you part of the grotto at Painshill Park in Surrey. Following an extensive restoration, it is said to be the finest stalactite grotto in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of crystals including calcite, gypsum, quartz and fluorite were used to re-create what really is an extraordinary folly set in an 18th century landscape garden.

Alphabet Project | D is for daredevil

Thank you to everyone that joined the Alphabet Photography Project last week. Such a great selection for the letter C.

Derelict would have been a nice challenge for the letter D but it wasn’t to be. We discovered a disused brickworks only to find it was no longer accessible and completely overgrown. D should be for Dove but POD displaying her daredevil skills by doing a star jump in the sky is far more interesting!
