The Turner View (Day 5)


Joseph Turner was one of Britain's greatest landscape painters and if you go to the Tate Modern Gallery in London you can pay up to see a collection of his best works. One of which is the view from atop Richmond Hill which has become known by locals as 'The Turner View'.  See below...


Joseph Mallord William Turner England: Richmond Hill, on the Prince Regent's Birthday exhibited 1819




















Alternatively and for free you can walk 207 metres from my front door and get the same view. Just don't pick a grey foggy London spring day as it is today.
