Probably better on large view if you have a moment.
Lester has quite a bit of melodeon fixing to do just at the moment so I took myself off to Stowe Landscape Gardens near Buckingham for the day today. We went there together a little while ago; the gothic temple folly in the background is in another shot in my project album.
I had my sights set on getting some shots of this rather grand bridge across one of the lakes at Stowe. For the first time I needed to tote a tripod round with me. It was a bit of a nightmare trying to manage a camera bag, tripod, money and a tray at the cafe. I think I'm going to sign up for some juggling lessons. :-D
There's some other shots from Stowe here : http://365project.org/dulciknit/on-the-day-extr/2012-04-11 http://365project.org/dulciknit/other-photos/2012-04-11

Great pov and composition on this. Takes your eye up that path to the house. The bridge capture is excellent. Have you thought of a monopod, still something to carry around, but a bit smaller than tripod.
Thank you, everyone. :-) @jennywren Thank you for the suggestion Jen. I tend to use a tripod just for long exposure shots and, unfortunately, a monopod isn't sufficiently stable for those. A great shame, because they're a lot less cumbersome and awkward, I think.
