Description
Deep within Sneaton Forest is the Hermitage. "The Hermitage" is thought to have been hewn out of a single rock in 1790. Reputely by George Chubb whose intials are carved over the door. I have another photograph of this place which I shall post tomorrow. The spot has a very spooky feel to it. It is high on a clifftop that falls away down to the forest floor. At some points I was not comfortable walking here, too close to the edge for me! Hugs for Happy Monday. Diane.

Interesting shot, the colors are intriguing. The green on the rock contrast the redish fall colors in a nice way. Cool shot.

Your shot make me think about the State Hermitage museum in St Petersburg. The vast Hermitage collections are displayed in six buildings, the main one being the Winter Palace which used to be the official residence of the Russian Tsars and was built to the design of Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli in 1754-62. In 1764 Russian Empress Catherina the Great started the famed collection in 1764 by purchasing more than 250 paintings in Europe. Thus both Hermitages are of the same age. Thanks fot the finde and sharing!

He scares me that place... it seems the house of a witch of the forest... does she have to do with that?? is it this way?? Good this place this full with mysterious stories We wait tomorrow's picture Roby :O)

@RobyHermida, do not be afraid of the man who lived here Roby. No witch. Just a man at one in his element living in the forest. Truly, nothing to fear. I do not think. You sense correctly a very strange place. but one with beautiful natural feelings too. This is what I think. More hugs. Di.
