My previous set of images from Calke Abbey were taken last August. Under the heading ‘A Hidden House Revealed’, my last blog from this National Trust treasure included photographs of the ‘jumble’ which had accumulated over time in the various outbuildings. Last weekend I returned to Calke to explore the interior of the house itself. Of course I photographed the plethora of collectables within, but I did also observe the darkness necessary to preserve the hoarded objects. The drawn curtains and minimal lighting provided some interesting images of the visitors passing through the rooms and staircases, seemingly stepping out of the shadows.
