Chattri - a photo on Flickriver

Chattri

            "The Chattri is a war memorial in the English city of Brighton and Hove. It is situated in an extremely isolated position 500 feet (150 m) above the city on the South Downs above the suburb of Patcham, and is accessible only by bridleway. It stands on the site where a number of Indian soldiers who fought for the British Empire were cremated during the First World War. The structure has Grade II listed status, reflecting its architectural and historic importance."

Had a walk today after dropping the kids to school and decided to head to this memorial which was wonderful to photograph.
This is my first visit and the sky was a lovely blue.
This is just screaming out for a star trail shot or a long exposure with bundles of clouds flowing past, anyway I might head back tonight to try the star trail shot as long as the sky stays clear.
As it's in the middle of nowhere hopefully the sky will be very clear with no light poluttion.
I'll save the long exposure shot for when it's a lot moodier.
I took loads of shots around the Chattrii today and didn't use my tripod once but it was nice just roaming around unhindered.
