The Underside

The Underside
Taking shelter yesterday from torrential rain under The Buttercross, in Somerton.

350 years ago the market place was a busy and noisy area during market day, and in extremely hot weather the dairy products such as cheese, butter and milk soon went off and on wet days these goods could also be ruined; a shelter was required that would shade and cover the products from all weather conditions. Built in 1673 the Buttercross was the ideal solution, as it was both cool and dry. It is now listed as a Grade II ancient monument, and is used as a peaceful place to sit and contemplate and as a useful bus shelter!!

Apologies for my long absence ...

Lovely to have you back Maggie...............I hope you got the re-jigging and decorating" sorted :-)

This is a very well composed and nicely exposed shot. The colour and textures of the wood are beautiful and you've captured the detail perfectly.

Thanks Keith, it’s all taking longer than I thought it would; the arthritis in my neck and shoulders has kicked in big time so I’m having to slow right down, but I will get there in the end.
I don’t like being old!!

I can relate to all that Maggie...........as can my wife who now has to use to stick to walk. As a result we have had to seriously reduce the amount of walking we used to do and the type of places we visit. If I'd known I was going to live this long I'd have taken much better care of myself.

Hang in there!

Those are the things one discovers when it rains. Things that one may not have noticed otherwise.
Great photo and perspective, Maggie.
