Back from a fabulous visit with family and friends in U.K.
I took many countryside, stately homes and architecture photos.
I am not sure where in England I took this photo.
PP work in Topaz Labs/Impression/Cezanne1 filters.
My friend has helped me with the location, it was in Hidcote Manor Gardens.
These lovely asters just glowed in the late afternoon sun. I particularly liked the backlighting of some of the petals. Found in the Wild Gardens of Acadia in Acadia National Park.

Never changing, a view that has been seen over the many centuries. Interesting to see in this ageless shot the radar installation that guards the entrance to Plymouth RN base.
What a pleasure it was to meet these wonderful street musicians on my visit to Cambridge with a couple of friends! We spent a good time listening to their performance!
Taken this morning. It was fairly bright until I got into the woods. But the reds and yellows were still vibrant. The mist made the woods look like a painting!
IMGP6401. Ironbridge is a large village in Telford and Wrekin Borough on the bank of the River Severn, at the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge, near Telford, Shropshire, England.
There was a time when we thought that the Anglican Church was as unchangeable and as permanent as the English weather, that the red telephone cubicle was part of an identifiable English character, and that the equally red letter box would be eternal.
"Oh, oh, you think you're special
Oh, oh, you think you're something else"
The Anglican Church is no longer what it used to be - and its majority is no longer "English". English weather is now a matter of unpredictable surprises, telephone cubicles have been superseded by smart phones, and the Royal Mail is neither royal nor reliable in its delivery of letters. And the English character? You tell me. We in the UK are living among fossilised objects, and if new life is springing up it will in all likelihood have little to do with the Anglican Church, the Royal Mail and Englishness. Let me put it bluntly, it is immigration that is blowing new life into a sclerotised and inelastic body. Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4.
