Wilton House 2006

Framed. 11.5" x 13.5" Wilton House, near Salisbury, is the stately home of the Earls of Pembroke. Hundreds of years of art masterpieces and a famous Palladian bridge in the gardens, but Mom was most taken by this unusual old pine tree. You can just see the corner of the house on the right. (And you can see the photographer reflected in the glass; an effect you'll lose in your own home!) The frame has an arm to stand on a table if you don't with to hang it.
