Various cats frequent Lacock Abbey. This one seemed to have dominion over the gardens. There is a decent building in the gardens for indoor plants. At least, we think it is for indoor plants. The cat thinks it is for cats, or more accurately, cat, singular.

I used f/8 to get depth-of-field and a slow shutter speed to create a sense of movement. Sigma 15-30mm F3.5-4.5 EX DG Aspherical lens at 15mm on a Nikon D2Xs. 100 ISO.

The morning had been opaque with mist. Around midday the sun started to break through and the light warmed up a bit.

I used a venerable Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f/2.8 Tessar lens for this picture.

Photographed at Lacock Abbey, with a Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro and a Nikkor 35mm DX AF-S f/1.8G lens. Lacock Abbey was founded in 1232 as a nunnery for Augustinian canonesses. In 1539 the abbey was dissolved and sold to William Sharington, who converted it into a country house. Sharington was succeeded by his brother Henry in 1553, whose daughter married John Talbot of Salwarp, Worcestershire. Lacock Abbey remained in the ownership of the Talbot family until the Second World War.
