Totem

May be better on large view if you have a moment, because there's lots of detail. Thank you.

Lester and I went for a walk in Windsor Great Park, near the Savill Garden, today. There's a totem pole there (it was a gift to the queen from the people of Canada, presented in 1958. It's a 100 feet/30.5m tall) and this is a shot of part of it. I had a bit of a play with it.

There's some more info. about the totem pole here if you fancy a look: http://www.thamesweb.co.uk/windsor/info/totem.html

Wow that is just awesome. Fab pic

Absolutely neat picture. I would never have connected an English park with a totem pole. This is so interesting. Fascinating detail.

[Mac]

Terrific shot!

[Lisa Stein]

Such an interesting find. I love your POV and crop. Very nice processing, too!

[helen]

Wow!! I've tried and failed to take a good shot of this totem several times!!

[Kazzy]

Great processing. I love how you pov makes it look like it is reaching for the heavens!

[Dione Giorgio]

[Margaret Brown]

Great shot, love the colours

[Lepi]

You've captured the scale and detail well -not easy to do in one photo.

[Jennifer C]

for a moment i thought you were in the South Pacific! i love what you come up with everyday

[Netkonnexion]

Lovely shot. Nicely done. Actually I love going there. It is a lovely place. The chestnut trees are wonderful in October. If you walk from the totem pole up the hill to the car park you get some wonderful chestnuts - just right for an open fire. Wow... evocative!

[Gena Pegg]

Fantastic. Great POV. Love the detail and the color. Excellent!

[Claire]

You have taken a fab shot, great pov

[Maggiemae]

I remember seeing this but as I wasn't into photography then my photo wasn't that brilliant. Nice to see it here!

[Hamble]

It looks a difficult thing to shoot but you've made an excellent job of it!

[Carole Imes]

Fab shot, Alison and how very interesting! Thanks for sharing the link.

[Matt Clendon]

100ft tall? How amazing. Would like to see some more shots of this in the context of its surroundings. It makes me wonder how it looks within the garden. Intriguing.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@sabresun Will see what I can do next time I'm down there - it's a place we visit quite often.

[Matt Clendon]

@dulciknit I've just been looking up Savill Garden, Windsor. It really looks a good place to visit sometime.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@sabresun Oh, it is; there's always something to enjoy, whatever the season.
