Blenheim Palace in less than ideal weather

[Greytop]

A few taken back in May at Blenheim Palace in less than lovely weather.
I guess you have to make the best of it, at least with weather sealed gear it doesn't stop you shooting :)

Pity about the scaffold, I believe they are in the process of renovating the windows / glazing, due to be completed soon.

Thanks for looking :)

Like the composition of the last one. Looks like the weather thinned the crowds out a bit.

looks like you have nice colors despite the overcast day.

Really like the one by the lake side with the reeds.

Thanks Pops, yes the weather had the desired effect (for me) :)
Plenty of opportunities to photograph without too may people around is nice.

Thanks Eddie, yes that's one of my preferred shots too :)

Nice set, and a nice place to visit, Greytop

I particularly like the water terrace photo and the lake.

As Pops has already mentioned, the last is an interesting composition.

But the Rhododendron looks odd. Might just be how I am looking at it, but on the edge of the flower, at about 10 o'clock, there looks like a ghost type circle and squiggle. Did you clone anything there?

Thanks for your comments Garry :)

Regarding the flower, do you know I have never noticed that before, no cloning at all so all I can think is that it is part of the plant (just out of focus), you can see a number of them in that area... strange.

The weather has brought out the colour of the stone, which I think has helped in a small way to a cracking set of images.

Thanks Barr1e, yes I agree that damp or wet stone work can look more interesting with it's reflective glossy quality.
