Leaves in Mono

I recently visited the RHS gardens at Wisley in Surrey.  I  particularly wanted to see the tropical glasshouse.  This is a modern structure, only opened in 2007.  It's a huge building, 12 metres high and covering 'an area of 10 tennis courts'.  So even in the hot zone (and in a mask) it didn't give the claustrophobia can sometimes accompany a trip to the palm houses at the Botanic Gardens or Kew.

I spent a lot of time focussing on the shapes and textures of the leaves.  I was less keen on all the green, and there was a lot of green (I sound like Ann), so I decided to turn all the images mono.

I recently joined other club members for a meet-up at Madingly Hall.  As well as getting to chat to people in real life that I now typically see on screen, I was also keen to photograph a few things I missed last time.  In particular, the interior of the parish church.  It's a lovely space, and I spent a pleasant hour playing about with viewpoints.
