This is Fountain Square in historic Long Grove Il. This was an old German farming community founded in the mid-1800's. As a means to save it the community became a haven of antique shops in the early 1960's which is how I first became acquainted with it. Many of the old buildings have been preserved and rehabbed into the boutiques and restaurants they are now - the antiques fell out of favor about 15 years ago. The old stonebottom round building you see at the far end was a grain mill and later became the Applehaus bakery. These are the backsides of the some of the old buildings whose fronts are streetside on the 2 streets that intersect the village.

Looks like a quaint place to do some shopping and grab a bite to eat Kathy - also I see some photo ops with regard to the building structures and to take home some goodies from the bakery - Great Capture!!!:-):-):-)!!

America has so many wonderful places like this to visit. I love the long lawn - it looks great for lawn bowling and the buildings in the background look very inviting, Kathy.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
On a beautiful day like the one in this shot, I would just sit and watch the fountain for a while. Excellent shot, Kathy.

Very good capture of a lovely scene Kathy. The buildings, the sky and the grounds all look lovely. Nice and bright lighting too.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Do they also have one stop light in the small village? A good perspective in the photo and a lovely capture of the scene, Kathy. Beautiful colours and good lighting in the photo.
