Sunset over The Upper Pond.
A beautiful sunset reflected in the calm water of The Upper Pond. I watched from my location at the side of the pond as the colours developed after the sun sank below the horizon. Shooting towards the bright sky allowed me to silhouette the plants and buildings. Luckily the evening was nice and still so the reflections were perfect. ©RHS/Lee Beel
