Schitterende opname en pip,Rosa.
Interessante beschrijving.
Hartelijke groeten.......Frans.

Thank you for your kind comments Frans.
Sunday greetings, Rosa.

Brings back memories for me Rosa ~ Thanks

I thought it might Nick! Cheers, Rosa.

Très belle photo mais triste histoire. Nicole.

Merci beaucoup Nicole

Beautiful lighting, Rosa, love the foreground detail... excellent shot... Interesting PiP... So interesting with the absorbing history... John.

Thank you John. I appreciate your kind comments. Have a good new week ahead...Rosa.

A beautiful pair of iconic English countryside, I wonder what would be designed if it happened now I'm pretty sue it wouldn't be an improvement, did you enjoy your slow walk ? I'm not keen on the photos of snow that have been posted recently this weather is fine by me, enjoy the rest of your day Rosalyn

I agree Peter. Let's just hope it never happens again. I don't mind the photos of snow, but I would rather not experience any just yet!! Had a great dog walk thank you. Have a good new week.

Your main images is beautifully composed Rosa. The trees leading off into the distance along the river give nice depth with colours, light and shadows completing a great picture. The subject of the PIP is very nicely captured also, again with good light and shadow balanced. Thanks also for the interesting information.

Enjoy the rest of Sunday, Doug

Thank you for your very nice comments Doug. It was one of those cold but very bright days that reflected well in the river.

Have a good new week. Best wishes, Rosa.

Very interesting text and beautiful photos, Rosa !

Thank you Ulrich.

Interesting explanation and beautiful view!!!

Thank you Nouchet.

This is a terrific shot Rosa.................wonderfully composed with gorgeous light and colours. It has quite a painterly look to it. An interesting narrative too.

I also like the image in the PiP............lovely light and dappled shadows and a very attractive archway and entrance.

Thank you for your very kind comments Keith. What a difference a nice blue sky makes.

I love the perfect colour contrast between the reeds and the water. I like the way, Rosa, you have captured the leaves just on the point of making their autumnal transformation.

The architecture of the school entrance is amazing.

Cheers,

Joe

Thank you very much for your kind comments Joe. I have never actually seen the school buildings but they have a lot of music events there. Maybe one day I will get to see one.
Cheers, Rosa.

Beautiful river scene nicely composed Rosalyn.

Thank you very much Maurice.

Rosa, a great point of view here, you caught a great photo opp! I really like the beds of reeds scattered about in the water. good job.... have a good week ahead, we will celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday. Lots of cooking to do for me but love it when the family all comes to be together and enjoy the feast. Best wishes, Sarah

Thanks you for your kind comments Sarah. I'm sure the cooking for Thanksgiving will be a walk in the park for you ;-)) I hope we will see some of the results! Have a great family day on Thursday Sarah. Best wishes, Rosa.

Gorgeous. A positively idyllic scene.

Thank you Jean. Good to see you back online :)

prachtig gebied in jouw omgeving Rosalyn

Thank you Fred. Pleased you like it.

Beautiful light and colours Rosa.

Thank you Jaap.

One reason more, doing the Stour Valley Way one day.

Very beautiful capture!

Nice links Leon, thank you. Yes I live not far from where the river starts. Thank you also for your kind comments.

There’s always a lot to learn about England in so many pictures of yours, Rosa, a tempting invitation to see so many charming places I’v never seen!
This image of the River Stour is so beautifully composed , showing lovely colours contrast and warm autumn light and beautiful architecture in the Pip. Thank you for sharing very interesting information as well!

There is a lot packed in to a small country Adele ;-)) Thank you for your kind comments. I love seeing the wonderful pictures on here from so many different countries. I visited many after seeing them on Panoramio! I don't tend to travel so far now, but I am tempted again from what I see on Ipernity :))

A beautiful place! Great light and colours of the fall.

Thank you for your kind comments Rainer.

What a breathtaking pair of pictures! Thanks for the information too, so interesting. Tragic to lose the town thrice, but I guess in your case, 4 time's a charm!

TY for your comment on my dahlia! Oh how I wish that you could visit this incredible dahlia garden in San Francisco. You would swoon with delight and then just pass out from the staggering size and numbers of varieties that are on exhibit. What a sight. Who KNEW there were so many kinds of dahlias?! I will have to see some of your pictures too! :)

(I did a search to find some pictures of your dahlias but could not find any, though I did see some lovely ones you photographed at another garden! Let me know if you have pictures to share! BTW, here is a link to my original photo shoot using my older camera. If you're interested, take a look...the conservatory is an awesome bit of architecture by itself, but totally overshadowed by the incredible gardens that surround it! :D www.ipernity.com/doc/290645/album/417591 )

Thank you very much for your kind comments Janet. I will take a look at the link you have kindly provided this evening.

The garden in San Francisco sounds wonderful! I was amazed at the many colours and varieties of dahlia when I visited the small garden to the castle in Dunster. The gardener was on hand to answer any questions. I loved the black variety....so unusual. The mind boggles at how many new ones I would see in San Francisco :-))

I tend to upload general flower pictures from my garden and they are in an album entitled...Flowers, Birds and Blossom in my Garden. My flowers did not fare so well this year with the long very hot summer. I'm sure the conditions will be back to normal next summer!!

All the best, Rosa

A pair of lovely images of this beautiful place.

Thank you for your kind comment Dave.

These are both beautiful images, the light and colour fairly sparkle. Interesting information too.

Thank you very much George.

Wonderful composition and lovely colours especially in the main image Rosa, enjoyed the narrative and the pip thank you.

Thank you for your kind comments Roger. It was a touch drafty stood on the bridge!

Thank you.

Ein tragisches Unglück bietet die Chance für neues Leben und neue Gestaltung, Rosa.
Eine wunderschöne alte Landschaft mit sehr viel Wasser.
Freundliche Grüße und einen schönen Abend
Erich

They had quite a few tragedies, owing to the candle makers Erich. I am pleased the latest town design has lasted so well and I am pleased with your very nice comments.
Best regards,
Rosa.

A wonderful and peaceful scene Rosa and I also like the school entrance pic.

Thank you Jeff.

Splendide !

Thank you Eve.

very impressive and evocative images , Rosa , 'painted' with amazing plays of lights ,shadows , reflections and lovely colours !
I loved your so interesting narrating, too !

I wonder what the town would have looked like now had there not been such damaging fires! Thank you again for your kind and interesting comments...Rosa.

Rosa, I just saw your comment above and will go to visit your flower album! :) And thank you for your long and detailed reply to what I'd written! Regarding black dahlias, why I don't believe I got any pictures of black ones on my visit to San Francisco, but will agree--flowers that are black are just incredible to see!!

A real charming place ...
Your two photographs are superb, Rosalyn ! *******

Thank you dear Christiane.
Have a good weekend.

Heel mooi hoor. Er zit behoorlijk veel water in de rivier, lijkt me. In Nederland is de waterstand verschrikkelijk laag. Sommige kleinere rivieren staan nog steeds droog en da's niet goed!!

Groet, Christien.
