Evocative Scenes at Blickling Hall


See and feel the troposphere at Blickling Hall; all 30,000 feet of it

Here is Flickr album by Kenny Gray, house steward at Blickling Hall. It contains some very professional looking pictures of the Jacobean Hall and its environs (along with other curious and interesting material). Kenny has managed to juxtapose the Hall and its grounds with some stunning skyscapes and lighting effects.

Light and sky combine together to prompt our minds to imbue scenes with moods. These moods are taken from a rich repertoire of qualities, qualities that are intangible, unseen and yet when evoked are strangely pervasive; everywhere and yet nowhere. Mood manipulation makes art work. The Romantics knew all about the effects of sky and light on our psyche and it’s no surprise that the word “atmosphere” has become so closely associated with ambiance. (See also here)
