Amelia's photos

What a wonderful walk this is, especially for those who can't hope to climb the high peaks. Great scenery and views around every corner, and wide open skies. Just my cup of tea really.

A dangerous stile to cross. The translation is: Cow with calf and bull.

The Sunday Challenge: What if each one of us chooses a Christmas card with the wishes texts written in our own language, and the card being photographed in a place that best represent Christmas spirit for the photographer? My Photoshop skills are really useless, so I had to wait until it got dark and we were having our evening meal with a glass of wine before I had the chance to get down to it. This card is one of this year's which we have received - the only one with clear writing on it. Our Christmas tree isn't up yet, but we fetched our decorations box down from the loft and I just used a couple of baubles, a little mirror heart and added a candle.

A 'Puddock' is a frog. A 'Lochan' is a small pond or lake. Around this pond were wood carvings, one of a toadstool (just seen in the background), one of a frog, and another of an owl. I haven't been able to find out who the wood carver is - yet. To listen to this Scottish poetry go here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF2jN3MgCYY This woodland lochan was frozen

Taken in the churchyard of St.John the Baptist, Ruyton XI Towns.

Much of Ruyton XI Towns is built on a red sandstone outcrop, Consequently many old walls and some old buildings are constructed using this material. The redness is accentuated by the low light. This circular toll-house has a conical slate roof, and was erected in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. The old toll house, now a private dwelling, stands next to an ancient stone bridge wide enough for only one vehicle. The Platl Mill Bridge was designed and built in 1791 by Edward Cureton.and crosses the River Perry, which joins the Severn near Shrewsbury.
