Clifton Observatory - Camera Obscura - Giants Cave.

Dating back to 1766 the Clifton Observatory began life as a windmill for corn and later converted to the grinding of snuff (tobacco), when it came known as ‘The Snuff Mill’.

Well captured from this perspective with good light. It wasn't until I looked at the history link that I understood the reference to camera obscura! V.
