I recognised that Neptune statue straight away - there are some great photo opportunities at Stourhead aren’t there Val? You’ve made a good job of this composite - under water is quite a difficult one to pull off. Well done.

Hi magnetoman, I too have pictures of the bridge you posted and thought you would know the statue... It was a great place to see and glad you like the composite...
