Castle Dome

The Dome is probably the most easily recognizable landmark of the house at Castle Howard, near York, England.

It is a private residence, the home of the Howard family for more than 300 years. Castle Howard is not a true castle, but this term is also used for English country houses erected on the site of a former military castle. It is familiar to television and film audiences as the fictional "Brideshead", both in Granada Television's 1981 adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited and a two-hour 2008 remake for cinema. Today, it is part of the Treasure Houses of England group of heritage houses. Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II !http://ih1.redbubble.net/ima...
