Connected ~ Fontmell Magna
The River Stour runs through the village and this scene is between the church and the village shop. The name Fontmell derives from a Celtic river-name meaning 'spring by the bare hill', and Magna—meaning great—distinguishes this settlement from Fontmell Parva (parva meaning small).

A lovely scene, Rosa. There is little margin for the river, is flooding ever a problem? HBM and have a good week.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to tiabunna club
Thank you George. There had been a lot of rain prior to this visit, but there was no flooding in the village, although the river is quite high. Blandford, where the River Stour runs much wider, is also covering the surrounding fields!
Have a good new week.

Edna Edenkoben club
Quite an unusual perspective, Rosa. And a lovely place!
And there's even Fontmell Parva...perfect! Now it definitely sounds like an episode of Inspector Barnaby. Speaking of which...there was a new one on TV last night. We usually get to see them a little later as they have to be dubbed in German first!! That's not what I want, but I suppose all those German voices don't want to lose their jobs ;-)
3 months ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
There was a reason for the perspective Edna...I was trying to avoid the scaffolding to the house on the left. Luckily it wasn't in the picture :-) I would like to see Inspector Barnaby speaking German ;-)

All the best and a good new week.

The tall pole and the attached power/telephone wires are perfectly place in the frame and the wires seem to join the elements of the shot together.

Such a beautiful place with some lovely houses and walls and the river passing through. Great to see a bit of sunshine and blue skies.

Currently sleeting on and off here!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
The power lines usually dominate a photo but seem much less obtrusive when you are actually there, so I thought I would give them top billing ;-) Thank you for your kind comment, it's much appreciated.

Yes, it was good to see some blue sky. It was the last for a few days. We have snow covered roofs here, but it has stopped now. Have a good new week Keith.

A nice little scene here, with even bit of blue sky. I presume you are on a dog walk, that you seem to be out every day with your camera! Well done.

"Magna", "parva" Latin terms!
The road and the river seem to create two different directions; the little light creates a very suggestive atmosphere.
Warm greetings

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to photosofghosts club
Yes that's right Fabio. There are a few villages in Somerset with Magna in their name, but not so many containing Parva. Having said that, I will probably find that there are now :-)
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
Warm greetings& good evening,
Rosa.

Eric Desjours club
I really like the parallel between the river and the alley, although divergent as Fabio says, and the atmosphere that your photo conveys.
Where there's water, there's more life and charm, which are beautifully captured in your composition, Rosa.
Have a lovely weekend, neither too cold nor too rainy!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Eric Desjours club
Thank you very much for your kind words Eric. It is a village near to where my daughter lives, and we both like to visit it, especially as the shop has an inviting cafe ;-)
Take care and enjoy your weekend.
