[Tech1] Walk in grounds of The Vyne

[Alec Bray]

Hi all

Once again we "borrowed" Lucy's dog Chester to go for a walk.

Within about 5 to 10 minutes drive there are Morgaston Woods, These are 
part of "The Vyne", a National Trust property. The Vyne was originally 
built for Lord Sandys, Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain. It has been 
extended and reduced over the years.

A bit of Trivia: The Vyne holds an inscribed Roman ring as well as a 
lead tablet that speaks of a curse on the one who stole it. J. R. R. 
Tolkien was asked to comment on it as an expert on Anglo-Saxon history, 
including its connection to a mine fabled to have been dug by dwarves, 
and a few days after his visit he began writing "Lord of the Rings".

Although The Vyne itself is closed due to the pandemic, Morgaston Woods 
are still open.


I tried to make a few "stereoscopic" pictures - not quite as successful 
as my previous tree (what a fluke that was!) but both of these give a 
better impression of the bluebells than the flat 2-D pictures.  No 
science has been involved, just move the phone to the right and hope.  A 
little bit trickier today, as Chester (on a lead - dogs on leads in 
these woods) was very keep to explore and was pulling me along a lot of 
the time.

Just made it home before it started to rain ...





I hope that these will work for you!


(I promise - no more strange pictures from me!)
