Architecture Ashton Memorial

Ashton Memorial · 06:50 AM

Traipsed up to old Ashton Memorial on Thursday, it's such an amazing building. Sadly the weather wasn't quite so fantastic, but the deathly autumn landscape made for a wonderfully gothic setting on a dark, misty day...

Tried making it dark and gothic in post-processing but didn't want to over-egg the structure itself, otherwise it just looked weird. And perhaps a slightly lower angle would have been better, but I wanted the tree branches to fill out the white space formed by the featureless sky, and I figured it sort of veiled the top of the memorial which I kinda like.

That's a great advertisement for the GR--the balustrades, especially, catch my eye.

The image has disappeared off into the ether, it must have been really bad weather.

I've had this problem in the past actually. I'm linking it to Google Photos, where I upload my shots. For some reason it doesn't show for some people. I'll re-uplaod it on 500px and try re-linking.

Also thanks CreationBear! Yeah I have no idea why it was shining the way it was, I think the wet stone was just catching the light in just the right way. Leading wandering Victorian souls ever upwards...

EDIT: Changed it to 500px now, hopefully everyone can see it.
