This is an image of the drawing Room at Cragside in Northumberland.
Cragside is a country house in Northumberland. It was the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. Built into a rocky hillside above a 4 km² forest garden, it was the country home of Lord Armstrong.
Named after Cragend Hill above the house, was built in 1863 as a modest two-storey country lodge, but was subsequently extended to designs by Richard Norman Shaw, transforming it into an elaborate mansion in the Free Tudor style. At one point, the building included an astronomical observatory and a scientific laboratory.
This image which was taken in August 2015 has caused me a couple of headaches, not least because I shot it with my Canon's colour balance set to "Cloudy", I had an orange picture. This was sorted by manipulating the RAW image to "Tungston". The second problem which was easier to overcome in Photoshop was that the top of The Redhead's hair managed to get into the shot at the extreme left of the image.
