HFF Everyone.

HFF Everyone.
The Church of the Good Shepherd, Chard, Somerset. Situated on a very busy crossroads with traffic lights, so it took a while to get a clear shot!

Günter Klaus, Erhard Bernstein, Istvan Farkas, Diana Australis and 43 other people have particularly liked this photo

Well worth the waiting Rosa.................this is a beautiful shot. The church is very attractive but quite an unusual shape.............Peter has already mentioned the external bell, but it was the odd looking bit at the side with the battlements at the top that caught my eye!

Anyway..........HFF to you, and have a splendid weekend. We're currently experiencing heavy and frequent showers and winds gusting to 60mph! Hope your weather is better.
3 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you Keith. I also thought it was a nice shape and quite unusual. I haven't been able to find out much about it though. Also the first church I have come across with the name.

We had the heavy rain and high wind last night Keith...a bit windy still today! Let's hope there is an improvement over the weekend. Take care and have a good one.

HFF--Rosa ik denk dat het overal in west europa hetzelfde weer is--qua regen en wind lijkt het eerder herfst dan lente en temp van 13 --maar dat doet niets aan deze aparte kerk,,die er echt mag zijn -en die vinden we alleen in groot brittanie --Mooj en Gezond Weekeinde!

Den Verkehr hast Du ruhen lassen, Rosa.
Du zeigst uns eine kleine beschauliche Kirche aus Bruchsteinen. Und die Glocke im Turm wird die Gläubigen zum Gottesdienst rufen.
Gewiß, Dein Bild strahlt eine große Ruhe aus.
Freundliche Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende

Hi Rosa
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition
No cars, and you managed to balance the pedestrians!!! Lady + baby = Gentleman!
Don't know if you were able to go in or not. some churches seem to have limited openings, some are closed.
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Hi Peter,
I'm sure the church will have been closed, but crossing that busy junction four times was just too much at that time ;-)) If I go back to Chard at anytime I will go inside.
Thank you for your very kind comments.
Best wishes & good weekend,
Rosa.

What a pretty little church and a lovely shot Rosa. Definitely worth the wait to get this one. It can be frustrating waiting to get a good clear shot, - on several occasions I have waited for the traffic to clear and then the last car manages to pull up and park right in the way! At least they couldn't do that here.

A belated HFF and have a great weekend

A very belated HFF Rosa. What a delightful church. Isn’t it sad when you have to try to fight traffic to get a clear view. I always try to imagine what these must have looked like originally, surrounded by fields…
