Nori Bucci
Another gorgeous masterpiece Richie!!! So well done :)
richiedean replied
To explore the grounds of a 18th century Mansion, with a little knowledge of its background, is more than enough to inspire me Nori.
Thank you very much …............... :))
Chris Willis
What a peaceful atmosphere you have captured here, Richie. I do so love your style of work. Keep them coming :-)
richiedean replied
Peaceful is right Chris, not far beyond the bridge is a quaint, cosy cottage, all self sufficient and secluded …........
I was quite envious as I walked on by ….............
Thank you …............. :))
Jim Phillips
I’m really surprised that no one commented on the skull in the forground. Sets a different mood for me. A old place of time gone by. Beautifully done all the same.
richiedean replied
You’ve hit the nail on the head there Jim ….....
The Manor house was built in the 18th century and the owner held lavish parties, inviting numbers of high society guests …....
J M W Turner was amongst them and has rendered a Watercolour of the Mansion …...
Unfortunately, all the expenditure led to the downfall of the place and it was unbelievably demolished in the 1950s …......
So now, with the mansion gone, there are 200 hectares of land to explore and that ram skull, that I added, is part of another story thats linked to Hafod …............ Cheers Jim ….... !!!
