A Pastoral Scene. Shot on the Stourhead Estate, Wiltshire, England. Had to wait quite a while to get this image as the herd of cows wandered over to have a drink of water and kept spoiling the reflection.

The Stourton family, the Barons of Stourton, had lived in the Stourhead estate for 700 years when they sold it to Henry Hoare I, son of wealthy banker Sir Richard Hoare in 1717. The original manor house was demolished and a new house, one of the first of its kind, was designed by Colen Campbell and built by Nathaniel Ireson between 1720 and 1724. Over the next 200 years the Hoare family collected many heirlooms, including a large library and art collection.
