Bradgate House
Home of Lady Jane Gray Queen of England for 9 days until they removed her head.

Yet another one from Saturday.

I was walking down to the field for the deer when I saw this so taken with a 400mm lens.

D700
400mm 2.8 with 1.4 TC + 560mm
1/250 sec at f5.6 ISO 400
Tripod

Full frame apart from a few pixels lost when I had to rotate it a bit :smile:

A lovely atmostpheric image of a very historical site.
It has lots of deep history right from the Grey family to the second world war where they culivated deadly nightshade which apparently still continues.

Owned by the people of Leicestershire and free access as well.

Cheers Nigel
