Taken in the grounds of Lacock Abbey, one-time home to William Henry Fox Talbot, widely regarded as the father of photography, and the subject of his first photos.
The grounds contain several interactive art installations inspired by his work; this is taken using one of them, with the glass ball inverting the shot just as the first cameras did.
Thx Kim and Graeme :-) Doesn't Kyra understand doing things in the name of art?? Maybe she'd agree to lie on top, as an effigy? Wells Cathedral had some cool effigies - Bishop Harewell's had a pair of hares drinking from a well at his feet; another one had his feet resting on a snow leopard (I asked - it just looked like a cat to me) but there wasn't any story to go with that. Which was odd, f you ask me - who just randomly rests their feet on a snow leopard?
