Once outside the Greathouse, there was a self-guided tour which allowed for exploration of areas which most tourists would not think about visiting. In this case, the cellar provided some great photographic opportunities.

I have finished this series of images in black and white. The filtered light in the cellar actually made the original colored images have a rich tone which I did not think was appropriate for the subject matter. I have also added a dark sepia tone in Nik Silver Efex Pro as a finishing touch.
