Bruton Dovecote ~ Birds & Daisies

Beautiful composition Rosa.

Thank you Jaap.

Oh, what a mysterious tower, beautifully seen. But it holds many stories for me .
The first foto is for me a little bit surreal like a film :-))
the second foto is wonderful with the architectur

Thank you for your very kind comments Anna. It is something so familiar to me that sometimes we forget what is interesting around us :)

A beautiful series, Rosa !

Thank you very much Ulrich.

Beautiful shot and PiPs. I like the title shot with the flying birds!

Thank you Rainer. It's a pity they weren't pigeons ;-)

An interesting ruin on this hill and the picture being made a little mysterious by the ravens too. "What! -I hear you cry - these are not ravens they are doves!" Well we can keep with our imagination Rosa -can't we :)

Cheers, Herb

It's would have been perfect had they been doves Herb, but I had to be quick to get this shot as it was....me fighting my way up the windy hill ;-))
Cheers, Rosa.

I much prefer this version over the other shot of the tower..............the birds add some dynamism to the image and the huge bank of cloud behind it is very dramatic! Some nice leading lines too!

I really like the detail in the PiP showing the interior - I'm guessing there would have been wooden ladders of some sort at one time.

Also...........I now realise how those little square mailboxes in offices got the name pigeonholes!

If only they had been pigeons though Keith ;-)
Yes there were apparently ladders and at some point there were 3 floors and a fireplace!

Ha ha, yes that clicked with me too - Pigeonholes!!

Great set of photos Rosa, .... very interesting how they used the pigeons... for the eggs, and meat.

Thank you John. The tower is used as a symbol for Bruton.

Interesting Rosalyn, I see it has been described as a watch tower but I get a feeling there may have been more to it in it's early life. On a moonlit night perhaps a bit haunting.
Oh here we go me and my Imagination!!!!

It's good to have an imagination Maurice. A sight like this when there was a full moon, I can well imagine would look very haunting....maybe I should try it ;-)

Splendid vision of the old tower involved by clouds.
Birds and daisies …. is springtime !
All the best
Fabio

Thank you very much dear Fabio. I am pleased you like this particular version of the tower.
All the best,
Rosa.

Hi Rosa

Nice composition here. The birds really make it for me, be they doves, crows, or anything else!
The PiPs add great interest, showing that once there were windows there..
Perhaps Rapunzel lived here!!

I like it!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter,

I think my granddaughter would think the same about Rapunzel :) I am pleased you like the version with the birds. I took it as I was going up the hill, with lots of wind in my face, so was quite happy with the result!

Best wishes,
Rosa.

Super series of images Rosa the birds are perfectly placed in the main image,

Thank you very much Roger. I heard them take flight, so had to grab the camera quickly!!

I really like this shot. The birds add that extra something. I can imagine Rapunzel letting down her hair.

A perfect tower for Rapunzel :) I was happy to get the shot with the birds in, so thank you for your very kind comment.

It certainly looks as though it was adapted for the doves for the size of the building there are not many nest holes

Not many pigeons in there at the moment Peter. I remember a few years ago when I was there, I saw lots of them in the holes.

SO WONDERFUL

Hi Füsun,

Thank you so much for your kind comment.

Best wishes, Rosa.

A fine series of images of this interesting building Rosa. The tower looks most impressive standing on the skyline of the first image especially with the flock of birds. Like the detail of the interior that you have managed to capture.

All the best, Doug

Thank you for all your very kind comments Doug. Much appreciated.

best wishes, Rosa.
