Pin Mill Two



Two more shots of the Pin Mill at Bodnant Gardens today. This time from the inside using the arches and windows to frame the garden.

I like the warm colour of the wall is the first shot but I particularly like the second shot taken from a low vantage point looking out into the garden.

Pin Mill





So yesterday I said I had planned on sharing some of the agricultural features from Bodnant and here today are three different views of the pin mill. The third shot is perhaps a more traditional view but the others are views that would often be missed or overlooked.

I like the way the trellis frames the building in the second shot and in the first I like the way it draws the eye towards the mill.

I have really enjoyed posting my blog and I am very pleased that I will soon reach a total of 50,000 views (not counting the page views on my facebook page. So I have decided that I will giveaway a high quality print on the day that I hit the 50,000 total. To be in with a chance to win all you have to do is visit my facebook page and like and share.

Terraced Gardens of Bodnant





Today's shots follow on from yesterday with a couple more photos of the Pin Mill, this time with more of the terracing and the ornamental gardens in front of the mill itself.  These were taken at the end of the day when most of the garden's visitors had left so it was possible to get these pictures without anybody wandering into the shot. I really like the second of today's pictures, the lighting was just right and although taken only moments after the first of these pictures I was able to take advantage of a break in the clouds as the sun shone through lighting everything up.

The third picture shows some of the steps leading up to the house which was the home of the garden's owners and the final shot shows the view from the upper terrace across Snowdonia.  Although the cloud was building up it had been a brilliant day and I am sure you will agree it provided some fantastic photo opportunities.

17th Century Pin Mill






Today I have a few more pictures of the terraced gardens at Bodnant with a couple of views of the 17th Century Pin Mill (I will have a couple more tomorrow).

These are really beautiful gardens, everywhere you look there is so much colour with such a huge variety of trees, shrubs and flowers.  I absolutely love it.
