Racton Monument

Racton Monument
Looking across the fields to this old folly in West Sussex. I've photographed this many times over the years, but it's nearly always possible to find a different perspective or a change in the surrounding countryside, depending on the crops and time of the year.

Anyone who is interested can check this place out on the following Wikipedia link:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racton_Monument

Please have a look large, on black. Thanks for looking :-)

I understand that idea of finding a new angle of a familiar scene. It’s a good challenge to retain interest in photographing a local area

Thank you Colin. I'm having to stay fairly local for my photography lately for various reasons, but I'm enjoying the challenge.

It can look so different, depending on the weather and season, as you show us here Keith. I love the sky. It's easy to take pictures when there is a nice blue sky, but clouds are altogether different and more difficult I find. I like this picture very much.

Thank you Rosa..............I'm pleased you like this one :-). Personally, I prefer clouds to plain blue skies, but sometimes they make you work harder for the photos!

I'm having to stay fairly local for my photography lately for various reasons, but I'm enjoying the challenge of trying to capture places I've visited before in a different way.

I'm pleased you like this one.........and thank you.

A well composed photo with the various foreground layers and the folly off centre. You also managed to catch amazing detail in the cloudy sky!

Oh das ist ein toller Ort..so schön eingewachsen und wie man im Link erkennt, ist es scheinbar auch begehbar...warst Du jemals drinnen?
Wunderbarer Ort...schön, wie Du ihn die wechselnde Landschaft mit eingebaut hast Keith.

Keith Burton club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew club
Thank you very much Tanja. There is a public footpath which takes you directly to the folly. Unfortunately over the years it has become a hang-out for alcohol users, druggies etc. It smells strongly of urine (and worse) and it full of old needles, and the unsavoury litter.

There has been a lot of talk over the years of it being cleaned out and properly restored, but nothing has happened..!!

Manchmal braucht man in der Landschaftsfotografie einen Aufhänger, der die Landschaft erst interessant macht. Dieser Turm erfüllt diese Funktion. Ich erinnere mich an eine Aufnahme mit Rapsfeldern. Die Landschaft hätte ich jetzt nicht wiedererkannt, den Turm schon.
Eine schön gestaltete Aufnahme, Keith!

Thank you Wilhelm and of course you're right about needing a "hook" sometimes. I'm pleased you like this image and that you remembered a previous one.
