Castle Howard Temple

The Temple of Four Winds

Monday 3rd August 2015

This evening the Driffield Photographic Society met for an evenings photography at Castle Howard. I was late getting there, but met up with three of the group. We decided on a long walk on public footpaths around the eastern side of the house. We came to the Temple of Four Winds, which like the house itself was designed by John Vanburgh for the third Earl of Carlisle. A fairly dull evening weather-wise, began to change as sunset approached and the sky livened up. I liked the steps leading to the temple which showed their age (built 1726), so I decided black and white with a very slight sepia. The walk back to the cars was in the dark. But that's what happens when you overstay the 'Golden Hour' at sunset!
