Government House Grounds by bkbinthecity

Government House Grounds

A few days ago I posted a picture of a fountain that had not been in operation for many years. This is a shot of the grounds on which it is situated. You can see it off to the left. On the right is Government House. So often when I come here I focus on the house itself. this is the first time shooting the grounds as a whole
Interesting POV, extremely long shadows. Difficult lighting.

Looks like a very nice place to walk. I like the long shadows and the way the sun is lighting the fountain.

@vickisfotos I was not sure until I posted it how this one would turn out as on the camera after taking it I thought it may have been to dark but I was pleased with the result

@kwind Well Kim at one point that is exactly what this was. This was where the Lt Governor and his family would live. It was used for this purpose from 1913-1938

I love the long shadows, they give the picture a slightly spooky look and make one wonder if the hollow groans of long-dead politicians might be heard here!
