From my files – A view over the Great Lake (Castle Howard North Yorkshire) the lake being built by the 5th Earl in the 1790s
Spent some time here over Xmas & New Year, ignoring all the dire prognostications that seem to emanate from everywhere.

Hi David
Love the tones and dramatic sky in this shot. A place I live near to yet have never visited…..New year’s resolution!
Bye the bye, just received a WhatsApp from Hammood Saif showing a photo of snow on Jebel Shams. I saw snow only once, no doubt you experienced it more even though it was quite rare. Take care.
Hello David !!
Nice hearing from you after all this time.
Yes I remember snow on Shams, we even got a message from the Sultan asking for photographs once.
Castle Howard is well worth a visit, an all day event as the grounds are lovely for walking after going around the house.
Beautiful!
Many thanks, much appreciated.
Nice composition, dramatic sky.
Thanks Jim.
