This is Houghton House in Bedfordshire, in the UK; it was a hunting lodge (!!!) built in in 1621.

I have scaled it to 50% of the original size, and also removed a person who didn't give permission to be in the picture but otherwise it's straight from the camera. Original (without the person) on request.

Some things you might do with this image -
. use levels and curves to increase dynamic range and contrast, to make a more dramatic picture;
. change the sky to a sunset, and add lightning
. after processing, run "sharpen" (it works better than unsharp, very often) - in gimp, try maybe 70% sharp.
. you could run the lens distortion filter and use the perspective tool to get rid of the fish-eye effect, if you wanted.

This is =barefootliam 's royalty-free stock account. You can use the images here in any work on DeviantArt (including prints) without needing any permission or paying any fee; but you must let me know when you use a piece so I can link back to it.

You can use the pieces non-commercially for any purpose whatsoever; again I'd like a link back if possible.

You can use the pieces commercially, but in this case you must send me a copy of the finished work, and the cost is that you must go entirely barefoot for a day, i.e. all the time for 24 consecutive hours. OK, I'm weird. Live with it.
