Nothing Changes 'Round Here

This is Gold Hill, Shaftesbury. A true glimpse in to the past across the English county of Dorset. You can imagine this image of these wonderful cottages wouldn't have looked much different had it been captured in the 16th century.

 

This iconic view is famous for a Hovis Bread advertisement in the 1970's. It was a very British commercial which was recently voted the best ever. It was directed by Ridley Scott of Alien and Blade Runner fame. Look it up on one of the many video sites out there, it's worth seeking out.

 

The light was less than perfect, ideally I'd have preferred a dawn or dusk shot but my travel plans meant an early afternoon arrival. Fortunately a small amount of cloud cover assisted in minimising the shadows.

 

Thank you for any faves or comments. They are always hugely appreciated.
