On our visit outside the city yesterday, i was so exited to see Stourhead. It’s been the place that I want to visit ever since my freshman year. I was waiting for that day. I was hoping to spend more time on it and do a sketch there, but the weather didn’t go right. When we first entered, I saw the painting becoming real. That was very interesting, and so mush better than I imagined. My favorite part was the grotto, it was so much bigger than I thought. And the view from the opening was amazing. I loved every detail about it, and how beautiful this landscape is.
Going to the next stop, Salisbury Cathedral was the most beautiful place in the day trip yesterday. I loved the Cathedral and the town. It was also bigger than I thought, and it has so many details that made me just look at it nonstop. I loved the town as well, it felt like a place I want to live in, so relaxing and small and active. The smell of the bakeries and how old the buildings was, I think it was prefect for a day out of the big city. I wished we spent more time on it and walk more and experience everything about that place.

I agree Stourhead is very beautiful landscape. Is filled with many different types of trees and flowers. As we are walking up the grotto I would realize the amazing beaut Ute of the landscape from above. My favorite part of stourhead were the grottos, they were very green and pretty. And the sound of the birds. I sometimes wonder how this landscape is actually based on a painting, because it looks so much like it. Typically we see paintings based of existing things but for stourhead is the opposite. The landscape of stourhead is actually based on a painting.
