Photographs, film and type
Merrow House is fictional, so none of these pictures show it. They are the work of photographers who share it freely, and we’re grateful.
Film
The hero film is Serene Canoeing on a Misty Lake at Dawn by Ola Ayeni, used under the Pexels licence, trimmed into a loop and re-encoded.
Photographs
All photographs are from Unsplash, under the Unsplash License, and are lightly graded to sit together. Four were taken in Daylesford itself (by Lennon Cheng and Alexander Burr); the rest were taken elsewhere and are captioned without claiming a place.
