South Somerset from Ham Hill

Der Blick schweift weit über eine wunderschöne, herbstliche Landschaft. Die unterschiedliche Farben der bestellten oder abgeernteten Felder gefällt mir sehr, Rosa.
Es ist gut sich an die Menschen, welche hier große körperliche Arbeit verrichtet haben, zu erinnern.

Freundliche Grüße und einen angenehmen Tag
Erich

Thank you very much for your kind comments Erich. There are many cider apple orchards in the area and a vineyard. There is still a small quarry on the site and all the surrounding villages are built from this mellow stone.

All the best,
Rosa.

Hey Rosa, your main photo here is such a lovely composition !!! so well done Rosa. the colors, the clarity of the whole area, it is a fantastic photo! Love the framing with the trees, greenery and THEN what is out there beyond! even those clouds add lots of interest to the capture,
a truly YS photo.... enjoy the upcoming weekend. best wishes, Sarah

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments dear Sarah!
It was after a day out with my brother trying to find the house my great gran was born in....we have it down to two! Another trip I think ;-))
Best wishes and enjoy your weekend....Rosa.

Admirable hedged landscape!!!!*****************

Thank you very much Nouchet.

What a beautiful series of this town, Rosalyn!

Thank you very much Val.

Wonderful panorama !
and very interesting serie, Rosalyn *****

Thank you Christiane. After a day of rain, we had this lovely sunshine, so had to go out and about ;-))

Superbes photos avec notes. Nicole.

Thank you very much Nicole.

Three stunning images Rosa!

The main picture is beautifully composed - I especially like the way the autumn sunshine has brought out the lovely colours of the landscape, particularly in the patchwork of fields. I also like the beginnings of autumn colours in the foreground.

In your first PiP I also like the composition, especially the people in shot for scale. The colour of the standing stones and the grasses are wonderfully vibrant and all topped of with a gorgeous sky.

In your second PiP the monument looks lovely against the sky. The red of the poppy wreaths at its foot really catch the eye!

Thank you so much for your kind comments Keith.
Just a hint of autumn about! There are many fields of cider apple trees just out of view!

I was pleased to see the poppy wreaths still in place. It will soon be time to replace them. They were well held down....it is always quite windy at the top!!

An outstanding trio of shots. Keith has said it all. I love the way the town nestles in a gentle hollow among the harvest fields. The standing stones are such beautiful shapes and colour and the memorial with its wreaths so poignant.

My brother and I had a trip out around the honey stoned villages of South Somerset in search of where my great gran was born Jean. It was a last minute decision to climb Ham Hill, so I am very happy that you like the three shots, thank you.

Three lovely photos, Rosa, so interesting, I have been studying them for ages... John.

Thank you very much for your kind comments John. I studied the main shot quite a long time myself! There is a vineyard in the area and I think one field shows the newer vines....but I'm not sure ;-))

Was für eine traumhafte Landschaft

Thank you very much Reyk.

What a stunning view Rosa plus a vineyard or two ~ what is not to like? Bravo

Wine and cider country Nick ;-))

Splendid landscape with delicious warm colours …. Autumn is coming !
All the best
Fabio

Thank you for your kind words Fabio.
Autumn is slowly but surely on its way!
Best wishes,
Rosa.

Prachtig landschap met overal Fences
Rosalyne

Thank you Fred. Hedges rather than fences, so a lot of wildlife :)

Superb view across the county Rosalyn, a little flavour of Autumn showing in the greenery.

Just a little of autumn Maurice. It will soon be time to visit Stourhead and get some real autumn colours...hopefully!

A wonderful panorama defiantly worth the effort of walking up there, you chose a good day with the lovely clouds to enhance the images.. more rain :(((( Good night Rosalyn

And this was taken only half way up the hill Peter! Wednesday was certainly the best day of the week for weather.

All three pictures are perfect and fantastic to see, Rosalyn. Can't pick a favorite, I love them all! Wonderful vista in your main picture, love the composition and scenery in the second, and the memorial is just glorious! Thanks for the info too, I would love to see this place some day. :)

Oh, and Keith really said it perfectly!

Thank you very much Janet. Keith has a very good way with words, as do you :))
Thank you very much for your kind comments.

Stunning scenic landscape image. Great companion shots also. Well done Rosalyn Regards Tess.

Thank you very much Tess.

Thank you again :-))

Beautiful series of photos; one even more beautiful than the other !!
Have a nice weekend Rosa.

Thank you for your kind comments Jaap.

The main image caught my eye as a lovely landscape, but the additional images are equally beautiful, Rosa.

Thank you for your very kind comments George. Even on such a nice day, it was windy at the top!

A very beautiful series, Rosa !

Thank you very much Ulrich.

Hi Rosa,

I really like this sign that autumn is here!!

Superb yellowish colours, and a very pretty tree on the right foreground!

Best Wishes, and a good weekend
Peter

Hi Peter,

A a little of autumn showing. I am looking forward to visiting Stourhead to get some real autumn colours soon.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Three wonderful shots Rosa.

Thank you Jeff.

A super set!
I will find the time (one day) to go over the ones I've missed these past few weeks, Rosa!

I've told you before not to worry about catching up Andy...it happens to us all!
Have a great weekend.

AMAZING VIEW.. AND WONDERFUL MEMORIAL

Thank you Pam. I am going there again tomorrow with my family :-))

Magnificent Rosa, nice presentation

Thank you very much Sonia.
Have a nice weekend.

Splendid!!!

Thank you very much Istvan.

A splendid capture of the beauty of rural Somerset in the main image Rosa, a part of the country I have never had the pleasure of visiting. I like very much the second picture with those wonderful stones occupying the foreground, leading the eye nicely to the hill and monument. The monument as shown in your third picture is impressive in its height and condition, the presence of the wreaths testifying to the care given by local people.

Thank you for your very kind comments Doug. People tend to pass this part of Somerset by, on their way to Devon and Cornwall. The area above is full of villages with the mellow hamstone from this former quarry. I am actually there again tomorrow with my family!

Best wishes and have a good weekend. Rosa.

magnifiques captures*****************

Merci chère Valériane. Passez un bon dimanche

A gorgeous scene Rosa. With that Nikon ring to it, these clouds and distinctive British hedge systems make for a pleasant experience. My kind of picture. Nice set of PiPs too. Very well done.

Cheers, Herb

Thank you very much Herb. Your kind comments are much appreciated.
Cheers, Rosa.

Quintessentially English and so beautiful!

A lovely view amnd shot!

Ein sehr schöner Aussichtspunkt !
