Knole House in Sevenoaks

Went on a little trip to Knole House in Sevenoaks last week a took a couple of pics. 
Absolutely beautiful place!

(Above) The front of the house which you first see upon arrival- however as the first photo shows, it isn't the actual house. You can enter the house after going through this gateway and through a garden/courtyard.

Silhouettes

Did some experimental backgrounds and various silhouettes and eventually came up with these three as a present for my Mum. 

I was really pleased with them BUT it's made me want to do more on a much larger scale. I found these very restricting. 

Hopefully, I'll crack on with some larger silhouettes :)

Snow

Wandering around in the snow taking photos of lovely looking bins and such.

Profiles

Quite like the idea of getting into profiles. Been looking at an old one and having a play around. Will see what interesting things I can get from this.

Also going to play around with the leftover space, because I think it could be quite key in the image.

When I read news stories like this, I just need to know WHAT IS OUT THERE!?

Have been looking into our closest 'neighbour'- the Andromeda galaxy, which is known as the 'big brother' to The Milky way (which Earth is in), because it is larger (but not by much in space terms.)

Apparently the two galaxies are slowly heading for one another and in over a billion years time they will collide.
