The first photo captures a young deer standing attentively in Calke Abbey Deer Park. The deer, with its slender legs and smooth, brown coat, faces the viewer directly. Its ears are perked, and its dark eyes convey a sense of gentle alertness. The deer’s form is highlighted by a soft, golden light, the sun setting behind it, which creates a warm halo around its silhouette. The background shows glimpses of other deer and a mix of dry grass and patches of light, suggesting a natural, outdoor setting within the deer park.
The second photo depicts three deer in Calke Abbey Deer Park, captured during the soft light of a setting sun. The deer are spread across a slightly frosted, grassy landscape, their varying shades of brown blending with the natural tones of the park. The foreground deer is bent down, grazing, while the other two stand in the midground, their forms silhouetted against the hazy background of trees. The overall scene conveys a sense of peacefulness and the natural beauty of the park at twilight.
The last photo captures a solitary deer standing in Calke Abbey Deer Park, bathed in the soft, warm light of a setting sun. The deer, with its slender build and alert expression, stands on a slightly uneven, grassy terrain. The ground is dappled with patches of sunlight and shadow, highlighting the textures of the dry grass and scattered branches. In the background, a dense woodland area creates a dark, contrasting backdrop, with the bare branches of the trees silhouetted against the fading light.
