We drove up to Houghton to see their exhibition EARTH SKY of work by Richard Long in the house and gardens.
First, a large work, North South East West, dominating the palatial Palladianism of the central Stone Hall:-
Outside, immediately in front of the house on the long lawn stretching out to a distant ha-ha is A Line in Norfolk:-
Beyond, at the end of the formal garden in front of the house with the ride beyond, is Full Moon Circle:-
In the two service ranges flanking the house were White Water Falls:-
Remote in a corner of the formal garden was Houghton Cross :-
And in the parkland White Deer Circle:-











Your photographs, always good, are EXCEPTIONAL, both inside Houghton and outdoors. Your best set ever, in my view. Detail, angle, light – the lot ! Many congratulations.
It was the most amazingly beautiful place, exhibition and day. Charles
