Let it not be said I've forgotten Owd Bob. :o)

I've photographed this awfully posh, & expensive multi million pound residence b4. The trees have since grown unchecked leaving me with a limited angle to capture this residence well

I believe there is or was a small observatory built into this home to watch the night sky hence the tower .. enjoy this bit of olde England folks. :o)

What a fabulous Victorian pile this is Phil. When did you have blue skies? I can't remember when we last had blue sky. Mind you it's tough up North!!

A beautiful English home ... I wouldn't mind living there. I love the patterns on the brick/stone. The angle & details are perfect. I see there is a bench for Owd Bob also. Magnificent capture Phil.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life, and my love for music and photography.

It is beautiful Plossie. Their is nothing like the houses they built in that time period. Even in America I love those houses much more. They just have more character.

You have more faces than Lon Chaney Phlossie. I like the manor very much. They even put out a bench for us to rest our weary bones. Must belong to some nice folks. Good post.

I likes the looks of this place, but I doubts it could be as comfortable as my trailer. Heck, from anywhere in my place, I only has ta walk a few feet to go to the.....well you know. LOL. Very nice, Phil.

Yes it is both awful and posh. Dosh is not always accompanied by taste. Great capture, even if thesubject comes up a little short.

Amazing architecture. Rather garrish. Good shot despite the limitation.
