After the Rain!

A markedly different, 'softer' atmosphere than in full sun.
A very good shot indeed!

You were quick! Thank you Andy. The weather and season makes such a difference to the hill and view. I think that's what keeps drawing me...as well as the cafe and antique shop ;-))

Well, I don't blame you, Rosa. I have only visited Gold Hill, once, and was hooked... one day!! Lovely photo, even if it's a bit damp!.. YS.... John.

Thank you John. The cafe was packed! Still lots of tourists :)
Rosa.

Beautiful shot Rosalyn ... reminds me of the old TV advert for Hovis that had the young lad doing deliveries on his bike! ;)

This is where it was filmed. The lad in the advert actually returned and did it all again a couple of years ago....he was a little older and larger ;-))

I did wonder if it might have been the same place, but wasn't sure. As for the 'return' by the star of that advert I'll bet he didn't go up as quick as he did back then. However, on the flip side I'll bet all that extra weight helped on the way down - lol! ;)

Ha ha, well take a look at this link. He doesn't appear until after a minute into the film....and I am not sure that there isn't a bit of trickery involved....you will see at the end ;-))

Fabulous, I really enjoyed seeing that Rosalyn and as you say it looks like there was indeed some trickery involved - lol! ;)

And, it led me to this, which I hope you don't mind me posting:

I don't mind at all....great to see it again!! Gosh, 1973!!!

This has the amazing quality of a painting about it, soft but not out of focus or blurred, wonderful Rosa.

It often surprises me what a great difference the weather can make to a shot in an unexpected way! Thank you Doug, for your kind compliments.

Such a nice view! and I love the homes, as they stagger down the hill...each one interesting in its own way! great photo Rosa. kind wishes, Sarah

Thank you Sarah. I have been inside one of the houses and the views from the back are amazing.
Best wishes, Rosa

A so lovely village!!!!!!

Thank you very much.

Du läßt uns weiter teilhaben an Deinem Rundgang durch diesen schönen, alten Ort, Rosalyn,
Freundliche Grüße und einen schönen Sonntag,
Erich

Thank you for your very kind comments Erich.
Best wishes for the coming week.
Rosa.

A smashing shot indeed Rosa and a scene most certainly liked by me

Best wishes ... Steve

Thank you very much Steve. Appreciate your kind comments and YS.
Best wishes, Rosa.

What a wonderful place. And you've photographed it beautifully here.

Nature takes over in wonderful ways here! Grass among the bricks of the road, flowers on the wall. Thank you for adding to my group 'plants vs. structures'.

Would you consider adding this to my group 'been there - wish to go'? I add my comment for that group here in case you do. WISH

Thank you very much for your lovely comments. I have added the picture to the group. It is a place I know so well and keep going back.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Wonderful - and typically English - street scene.

Fairly typical Jaap but thankfully not all as steep as this :-))

Another one for the Hovis advert. It really is a lovely place, Rosa, and you have got the atmosphere of the hill, the houses, the wall and the mossy cobbled street just perfectly.

Thank you for your very kind comments Amelia. Before the Hovis ad it was more well known for being in the first film of Far from the Madding Crowd!

This is an exceedingly good shot of the hill and beyond Rosa. The damp has helped with the clarity.

Thank you Jeff. Yes you're right about the damp :)

A charming and delightful image and taken from an excellent viewpoint that offers view of the countryside beyond. Great location and a terrific shot Rosa

Thank you Carol. There just happens to be a very nice cafe at the top. They do very well out of this ever popular tourist trap ;-)

A good pair of legs needed here Rosa, great POV, nice work...Regards, Bill. YS

You could do it Bill with all your walking and climbing experience ;-))
Thanks for the YS....Rosa.

An absolut splendid photograph, Rosalyn ! ****************

Than you very much.

Rosalyn, I so much loved this picture here that I immediately recognize the place in a pps which I just got ! (:o))
If you would like to see it, please give me an e.mail address (in a private message, of course), so that I can send you it.
Have a nice evening, my dear friend.

This is also a beauty of a picture Rosa. Such a nice depth in it... Wow!
I think that there is not much traffic in the street because the stones have so much green between them.

Greetz, Christien.
