Avington

Almost more gothic than yesterday - one evening I should come here with a full moon and do a 'Castle of Otranto' shot, but this was taken very early this morning. White frost, brilliant sunshine. What a morning!
I love this place. Avington Park is near Winchester and it's 'proper' gates (same design, smarter version) are on the other side of the lane behind the camera. I did take some shots of them, but I just love their decaying alter ego, with the lime avenue stretching into the distance and apparently going nowhere. The trees are even huger than they look here and I think their refusal to remain neat makes them all the more magnificent! Look at the mistletoe, it grows in incredible quantities round here.
Happy blipping
