I think they are Allium, a kind of ornamental onion or garlic but don't bet your house on it.

A different perspective - nice!

Thank you, thought at the time i liked the way the light was illuminating them. Simple things eh?

Allium, OK, I have caved in and emailed the hotel to ask them! :)

You know I'm going to ask what those lovely flowers are, don't you?

Pretty sure it's an agapanthus ... They're sold near me as 'blue lily of the Nile' . Not hardy in New Jersey.Gotta dig them up in fall or keep them it pots . I did the latter and had them going for a number of years .

They sure do look like agapanthus and they are a roadside weed here in NZ. And the mexican daisy too.

Any chance of getting back to this one Hugh? If you could go panoramic && avoid the white in the foreground & side you'd have a killer image. I think it's all about subtly using the IR to your advantage. Not that I'm any sort of expert!

Thanks - I can go back any time as Leeds Castle operates an annual passport ticket scheme, and it's only half an hour away.
I'll have another go next month :)

Cheers :)

PS I've crudely chopped the original - is this what you meant? (Apologies for this being a 2nd POTD) Leeds Castle Lake B&W IR.jpg

You're definitely getting close with that crop. More water and reflections of the trees, with that taking up around a third of the horizontal space might work well.

I'm so glad you are able to get back relatively easily & look forward to more from you.

Looking closely and consulting the net, I'm sure you are right someoldguy- that'll teach me to try to be clever...
