This week, share with us your take on “depth” — you can take it literally, like me, by showing something (a dense forest, your lawn after a blizzard) that suggests volume, a distance between surface and bottom. Or go with a more figurative approach: use a deep color palette, play with your image’s depth of field, or highlight a person, a place, or an object to which you feel deeply connected.
So this is my response to Ben’s challenge.
In the depths of Cornwall there is a view deep down from a shop window at this pub!
Still in Cornwall, the depth of the cliff near Padstow is quite scary if you hadn’t planned to walk the narrow path and you’re wearing the wrong shoes.
The cellar in the depths of Mottisfont Abbey has visible remains of it’s medieval priory.
I like the multi layered depth of this sculpture at Broomhill.
Sissinghurst Castle is renowned for its garden ‘rooms’ and if you look down into the depths from the tower you get a great perspective.

Great shots.. I really love the Mottisfont Abbey, and Sissinghurst Castle ones…
Thank you!
Sissinghurst castle garden room would be my favourite. Thank you for the opportunity to view such beauty in depth
Thanks Maureen, that photo is just a small part of a wonderful garden!
Gilly, so many choices for the challenge. They are all superb. Fantastic. Marvelous. ⭐ ⭐
Thank you Tess ❤
The garden in your last photo reminds me of the gardens and the overall view from Monticello (Thomas Jefferson’s home) overlooking Charlottesville, Virginia. Although, if I remember correctly, the house sits between the city (way off in the distance) and the garden is located below the house. No matter, really. I love the rolling hills, and the bales of hay still sitting in the fields in the distance in your shot. It really gives the true feeling of ‘depth’ for miles.
Thanks so much 🙂
Fabulous fotos!
Thank you Cindy 🙂
Sissinghurst is a great visit whatever the season! You have given me some depth ideas!!
We are lucky to have so many beautiful gardens to visit!
Great choices for the challenge, Gilly. The hazardous cliff path is my favourite. I’m not sure I’d attempt it even in the right shoes. 🙂
Actually we turned back after a while!
What a lovely collection for a theme I decided was too difficult. I think the spectre of depth of field, one of my many photographic nemeses, may have stymied thought. You’ve seen depth in so many ways: I particularly like the light- heartedness of ‘in the depths of Cornwall’, and the Sissinghurst shot is wonderful – the extensive landscape, and all those people frozen in a moment.
I know what you mean, I nearly gave up with the weeks ‘symmetry’!
some beautiful images. Sissingshurst Castle and gardens looks like they are well worth the visit. and that cellar view of Mottisfont Abbey is amazing with those incredible pillars. thanks for sharing a bit of depth 🙂
Sissinghurst is beautiful, and Mottisfont, when the roses are at their best in June is breathtaking!
Lovely, Gilly. I wonder if they might offer inspiration for stories.
Hi Clare thanks for visiting. I have used my photos as prompts in the past and never mind other people doing the same, so help yourself.
Those garden rooms look intriguing. I found myself wondering what I’d plant in each of them, giving each one different flowers, scents, and personalities….The gardeners begin to dream in the winter 🙂
Yes I long for summer and days of garden visits 🙂
They are coming…..:-)
Loved the sculpture. Reminded me a bit of a light in a lighthouse…
Tony you would enjoy Broomhill!
Great interpretations Gilly. I love the one of Sissinghurst and the iconic white rooms. The time we rolled up for a look it was closed… 😦
How frustrating, it was lovely but not my favourite garden!
I think I like more colour in a garden.
…. The cellar in the depths of Mottisfont Abbey has visible remains of it’s medieval priory … this sounds like a very interesting place to see. It’s my favorite. Great entries, Gilly. : )
They had a sound and light installation in the cellar, very atmospheric!
The garden rooms are amazing!
They were originally created by a very famous gardener, Vita Sackville-West!
Great captured Gilly I enjoy the multi layered depth of this sculpture at Broomhill picture too!
Broomhill is the most amazing sculpture garden!
Great choices all Gilly. The cellar in the depths of Mottisfont Abbey looks intriguing. Love the sculpture as well.
Thanks Madhu, the sculpture is my favourite 🙂
Very nice mixtures. The maze garden wins it for me. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to one.
Its a renowned white garden Rommel 🙂
The cellar photo is wonderful !
There was a light and sound installation down there, very atmospheric!
I go for the Broomhill sculpture.
Just as I would have guessed Isobel!
