| Description: | GARDEN ARTS Alton Towers in Uttoxeter - various shots of the gardens Uttoexeter, Staffordshire, England Scenic shot looking across water to park w/ towers and spires rising in BG. Shot looking down at 3 men and a woman coming along a walkway covered by a series of arches created by incredible training and pruning of trees on either side. Wide shot in gardens, w/ portico of building at rt, looking toward hillside w/ different sorts of trees growing at all levels and high up in the trees a small tower peeks out some people stand at the lower part of the slope. Closer shot of a little temple or shrine, formed by 6 pillars in a circle around a statue. Wide diag. view of a tall wall bordering a smooth lawn, w/ various old fashioned flowers growing along it, some small trees and shrubs along top of wall and ivy hanging down; BG similar to 2 shots ago. MS fountain which looks like a stack of screws. Charming small waterfall. Wide shot looking across a square artificial lake; 2 pairs of women are stopped on path beside it. Wide shot some more tourists walking on a path past fountains, small pool, etc. - a dreamlike world. Closer shot of a simple fountain - a single jet of water shooting high in the air and curving down into the pond. Back to the wider shot of same. | |
