{"product_id":"norman-gate-windsor-castle","title":"Windsor Castle Norman Gate And Garden Black And White Photography","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Curving Garden Path Beneath Windsor’s Stone Towers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe path draws me into this photograph before the towers do. It curves around a bare tree and follows the base of a sloping garden toward Windsor Castle’s Norman Gate. Above it, two round stone towers stand against a sky full of grey cloud, their strong shapes balanced by the much finer branches in front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI photographed this view in 2008. The garden gives the castle a setting that feels close and approachable: small pale flowers scatter over the bank, low edging follows the curve, and different plants gather along the wall. Those details are less formal than the architecture, yet they are essential to the way the scene works. They turn the approach into a place worth looking at in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn black and white, the masonry becomes a pattern of light blocks and dark joints. Narrow windows interrupt the rounded surfaces of the towers, and deeper shadow gathers inside the gateway. I like the contrast between that careful structure and the irregular garden textures below. The clouds provide another softer layer above both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Windsor Castle wall art would suit a study, hallway or living room with a restrained palette. It has an obvious appeal for someone who enjoys English castles, but the winding path and garden make it more than a distant architectural view. The photograph gives the eye a route through the scene, from foreground branches and flowers toward the gate beneath the towers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2008\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40606589419599,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":40483236479055,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40606557896783,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40483236511823,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602024431695,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40483236544591,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":41185209614415,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Norman-Gate-Windsor-Castle-photo-in-picture-frame-1.jpg?v=1763234281","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/norman-gate-windsor-castle","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
