A stroll around R.H.S. Harlow Carr gardens near Harrogate left us wilting in the heat! We took shelter on a bench under this wonderful wood structure where we prayed for a soft cooling breeze that wouldn’t come. OK – OK – OK so I’m fibbing, it was late Spring and the temperatures haven’t been up to much. I think we may have had a better chance of catching the sniffles than we had of suffering from sun-stroke 🙂

So I decided to turn the murky (ish) day into a scorcher in Photoshop. It hasn’t affected the subject of the picture in any way, which is wooden structures, but I feel it has enhanced the image into something more like I saw in my vivid imagination that day.
