This is Belmont tower near Grantham. It was built in 1750 as a library by the owner of Belton House.
Michelle and I took an afternoon stroll up the hill to the tower after lunch Here are my first pictures from my new Fuji HS10
The view back to Belton House taken from behind the tower with the zoom on max.
Michelle wanted to have a go using the HS10. Not bad for her first picture.
Looking back towards the tower from within Londonthorpe woods. A dark and foreboding place.
The light shining through the leaves at the far edge of the woods caught my eye.
We came across this tree with fungus growing on the trunk. After taking shots on the other side of the tree Michelle suggested this angle. Although some of the fungus has been broken off I think this is a really nice picture.
Just before we made our way down the hill to the car park. Michelle had a go at capturing this out of place Fir Tree. She was not too happy with this picture once we uploaded it from the camera to the PC. But it’s her second picture with this camera so not to bad just missing the top of the tree
An old bus shelter in Manthorpe Village. This is not the first time I have photographed this shelter. The first time was over 25 years ago. That picture is buried in an album under the stairs somewhere.
