This view of Bolton Abbey is quite contrived and is more how I think it is remembered than how it is seen. The stepping stones and the stepped path form a S shape in the composition. The green beneath the Abbey hides little arches and patterns from the graves. Devonshire house can't be seen from the river, but we know it's there. I have tried to capture the warmth of the stone on this very hot, still day.
