The Triumphal Arch at Shugborough (Home to the famous photographer the late Lord Lichfield)

The Triumphal Arch, modelled on the Arch of Hadrian in Athens, dominates the skyline at Shugborough and is set on the highest point of the parkland. It serves as a memorial to George and Elizabeth Anson who both died shortly after its construction.

Busts of George and Elizabeth are featured on either side of the central aplustra which represents the bow of a ship and some spoils of war.

Hi Dean.

Excellent picture with the arch in the left-hand side and that lovely background...

Well done!

A very well composed photo with the arch placed on the left hand side. The foreground interest in the form of the pink flowers (your favourite colour) is good. An impressive sky with much impact.
Best wishes
Mark

The arc is majestic,and the colours of cloud and the lights are beautifull,very nice point of view,thanks for share,Luciano

Very good shot of this unusual arch from a well chosen low POV. That's a great sky you have and the little pink flowers add an extra element of interest to the scene.

Hello Dean,
Great details in the structure!
It is amazing to find this monument in something that looks like middle of a green field, hehehe...
The wild flowers and wonderful clouds add to the attraction of the image!
Greetings,
