more pics of Hardwick

Below are a few more pics of Hardwick Hall. I tried adjusting the perspective of the building to make the uprights look more vertical (with Photoshop), but I gave up on that. I've deliberately darkened the stonework of the house in the middle photo, to make it look more stark.
In the lowest photo, the shrubbery was over-exposed in places as you will see, but I like the contrasting colours nevertheless. If we lived next door to Hardwick, I'd be round there to take more pics of the border, but as we don't, I've postponed that idea for the time being.
Mrs C and I are National Trust members, by the way, as we like visiting old relics (including Mrs C's mum).
