Billilla Mansion

We went for a bicycle ride near home and decided to check out this mansion. It is now owned by our council, so I suppose you could say we're part owners.
My neighbour across the road, used to play in the vegetable garden whilst his uncle worked said garden, 80 years ago.
I shot this on Dec 30 as I wished to have shadow on the north facing walls to give modelling.
There is a window of opportunity of about 3 1/2 weeks either side of the equinox which allows this.
This scan is from a 100 x 250mm work print, the final print size is about 200 x 500mm and is really impressive (to me at least).
