The wobbly hedge

Making the most of the glorious October sunshine and our National Trust membership, today we went to Montacute House.

This photos shows the house and its famous wobbly hedge. According to the National Trust's website, "This distinctive yew hedge's maze-like pattern was created not by any gardener but by the force of nature. Snow settled on it during a heavy storm in the winter of 1947, imprinting this curvaceous new look by the time it had melted weeks later.
The hedge has stayed this contorted shape ever since, and a sister hedge in the garden has been clipped to mirror it. You might recognise the hedge from its cameo role in the 1995 film 'Sense and Sensibility'.
"

I took over 70 photos today, and was delighted that I've managed to find out how to adjust the exposure of individual photos, some more of which are here.
