just before storm ophelia hit scotland and suddenly bared trees of leaves :)
i don't think i've ever seen the hermitage this busy- both car parks were full, there was a bus of asian tourists and the crowds of photographers were just overwhelming. seriously, i mean it, to the state where photographers queued to the 'best spots' to take the classic, long exposure shots (and some were rather unhappy about sharing the spot!)
but apart from the crowds, the hermitage was just as usual- fantastic place for a walk and atmospheric autumn shots :) and for a nice walk amongst some of UK's highest and oldest trees
and a very pleasant surprise, when i was photographing the bridge, somebody came over to me and they actually recognised me from this blog :) a very very nice surprise, indeed :)

kilka dni przed wielkimi wiatrami ktore przyniosla ze soba ophelia, tuz zanim ogolocola drzewa z kolorowych lisci :)
chyba jeszcze nigdy nie widzialam tylu ludzi w the mermitage, oba parkingi byly pelne, byl autobus chinskich turystow i tlumy fotografow.
serio, takie tlumy az trzeba bylo stac w kolejce by rozlozyc statyw i strzelic fotke z jednego z 'klasycznych' punktow (niektorzy byli nawet bardzo niezadololeni na prospekt dzielenia sie miejscowka)
ale pomijajac ilosc zwiedzajacych, hermitage byl jak zawsze - piekny, malowniczy i doskonaly na jesienne fotki oraz spacer wsrod jednych z najwyzszych i najstarszych drzew w UK
