| Now why does this house look menacingly like the house in the famous Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho. I passed it last week on my way to have a look around the nearby Stephen's House and Gardens in East Finchley North London. And last Thursday we had some quite spectacular early Summer weather in the South of England. So you might ask why all these pictures indicate a brooding oncoming storm. And that's because when I got back home I couldn't wait to run the pictures through my photo program and give them that dark and gothic look. It seems to make them look more interesting than the sunny blue sky versions that I got from that afternoon. The Grounds were given over to the public for leisure use back in 1918 by the Stephens family. And there's even a Castle Fortress in the grounds but unfortunately it was closed off to the public. So I hope to get a look at it once they've finished the building repairs. But most of all I love that dinky little Princess tower by the Grounds entrance. Hoping to have another look in there during the Summer. |
