    From a car park roof in Lancaster City Centre.

    'The Ashton Memorial is a folly in Williamson Park, Lancaster, Lancashire, England built between 1907 and 1909 by the millionaire industrialist Lord Ashton in memory of his second wife, Jessy, at a cost of £87,000.'

    Nice and moody. Suits the B&W treatment.

    Seem this many times from the motorway and on here, but never in person, like this version of it.

    A lovely pic. I always think this place looks better taken from a distance, among the trees, than taken from the park surrounding it.

    No exif, but I know the town centre is at least half a mile away - so I am guessing this is taken with the new lens. It looks close and it looks crisp. Oh, and it looks good.

    Stansgang Keep it straight!

    Like it, i also like shots of it from distance there is a great view of it from a road that leads down to where the antiques and brewery place is.
