Gorgeous, Jen. The clouds are fantastic, as well as the rest of the shot. I like the sheep in there too. I have one suggestion: Give my cuzin Jasper a call, and he will fix that place right up. He's pretty handy with his tool kit.

From what I've seen of your country I think just the Architecture would be worth the trip. The landscape ? That would be a Bonus !
Thanks for sharing.

A lot of character, and the sheep are the finishing touch...

Great photo Jen. Sorry but I was checking the sheep for red paint. I love the view with the church and the sheep. The sky is great and I love how the cross looks in this photo. Nice composition and it is obvious you know what you are doing. Good post.

So the countryside is really this beautiful..course I'm seeing most of it through your eyes and Owd Bob's and Patti's and Nigel's and Lisa's and Jan's and..oh oh..I started naming names..lol...

But you did a super job with this one.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

What lovely contrast and detail, Jen, not to mention the color! Old England is just so grand and they really do have lots of sheep, don't they? lol

I told you 'Holy Island' would be a pleasure to see!....What did you think when crossing the tidal causeway then?...
This would be behind the priory as you walk past the 'boats'!!!

A lovely shot, of one of my favourite places!

I know what you mean about the sheep, it really gives a sense of timelessness doesn't it - they've been doing this for hundreds of years. Yet another place that's on my list Jen, thanks for this wonderful view of it. I like the detail and red colour you got in the stone set against the rich green of the pasture and that sky.

Lovely shot! I love this kind of historical place. I literally could spend hours in such a place examining every corner/wall/room...in detail and imagining the events that could have taken place there! Thanks for sharing it!

Super detail you have captured in these ancient walls Jen - and no doubting that it is Spring with those lambs in the field. A great shot :)

Great architecture Jen.
However, that sky is pretty amazing as well, so I have to be critical and the verdict says: to little sky and too much grass.
Ha, ha, don't be angry!
But when you get as good as you are, you just ask for it!

Wonderful colors and the clarity is really fine on these lovely old structures. Great sky too. What an exhilarating experience. This is classic old England imagery.
