The Mill Pond ~ Swanage
From Church Hill, a row of Purbeck stone cottages surround the Mill Pond in the old part of Swanage. The pond is fed by water from an underground source originating under the Purbeck Hills.

A smashing series from the Mill Pond Rosa.............the light and colours are lovely! I especially like the colour and textures in the Dorset stone used for the building and the bridge - it's such an attractive material.

Great reflections too.................and I really like the large willow tree drooping over the bridge!

A super purple mini too...........I'd love that!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
It always amazes me how the light changes when taking photos from a slightly different angle! Long live the willow tree :) I used to have a mini car but mine was not such a nice colour....it was called gold, otherwise known as brown!!!

Thank you very much for all your kind comments and observations.

Stunning main picture Roselyn, I must admit I am bemused by what appears to be a fence perched on top of an outbuilding or maybe part of an old wall, You can see it better in the reflections in the water.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to HappySnapper
Thank you Maurice.
I have had a close look at the fence and still cannot make out why it is there. I wonder if it is part of an old wall that is now listed. I will investigate when I am there next.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to gezginruh club
Hi Füsun,

Thank you for your interest and kind comments. What I like about these old cottages is that they also have stone tiles. The Purbeck stone is still quarried in the area.

Best wishes,
Rosa.

I'm impressed that you remembered an old car number Andy! It's all I can manage to remember the one I have now! So many car park meters you have to put your registration in now!

Hi Rosa

Fabulous picture, especially the reflections!!!

I wonder about the number plate on the mini in the PiP. I thought they were out of production by then..

Best Wishes, and a good weekend

Hi Peter,

I am pleased you like this shot. I have wondered where the Mill Pond was for many years! At last, with my daughter's help we tracked it down. Such a pretty part of Swanage....it's probably a good job it is well hidden!

Best wishes and I hope you have a good weekend.

Thank you so much Fabio. This was the original village of Swanage but now it is surrounded by a town. I is still a great place to visit, but I am always drawn to the old buildings.
All the best,
Rosa.

Always good to see such reflections. I am sure that I have been here too but one village pond starts to meld with another in my mind. (Too many trips and places I guess:)) Certainly is a great pond though. Thanks too for the other insights into Swanage.

It's a hidden gem Herb. It has taken me years to find!
Swanage is a lovely family seaside town with a great pier and nature park just along the coast.

All the best and many thanks for your kind comments, Rosa.
