Spent yesterday at Ightham Mote (pronounced Item Moat), a National Trust property in Kent that has a rich and varied history. A beautiful and compact place, the good weather really allowed us to appreciate the reflections of the property in its moat, as well as the gardens and lake. Once again, I must thank the excellent guides and volunteers at Ightham Mote for their generous knowledge and kind help.All these images were shot with the EM-5 and the Olympus 12-40mm F/2.8, except for the last one which was shot with the Olympus 60mm F/2.8.

Beautiful images as always! Ightham Mote, along with Churchill's estate were on the top of my list to visit. Too bad I ran out of time, but I am surely leaving these for the next trip! :)
Thanks for sharing my friend!
