Although I am not finished showing you all the interior
of The Argory, we are stepping outside into the grounds to show you some walls
to fit into Tex’s meme – GOOD FENCES.
Ryan was our guide on this occasion as he showed some staff and volunteers from Mount Stewart round the grounds,
Let me explain this shot. I am standing in the middle of dome shaped trained Yew trees and
pointing my camera straight up to where I can see the sky at the top.
This was a very interesting tree that Ryan showed us and
in a later post I will show you close ups of the trunk.
There are 3 gate lodges, two of which are lived in at
present.
I
am not sure what this was used for. Any
ideas?
I
hope you enjoyed seeing some of the grounds.
Thank
you for visiting and also to those who leave comments.
I love this long wall with the moss on it. It may be my favorite today. That geared wheel kind of looks like a large spinning wheel. Love your shot of the sky through the tree dome! And I did guess what it is before you said!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that Yew arbour. An outdoor cathedral.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos again. I really enjoyed the 5th one down.
