A Beautiful Autumn Morning

beautifull photos Doug!

British styles are very strange to say the least

Thanks again for your encouragement guys - as if I needed encouragement to bore the pants off people. LOL
Knowing they're appreciated by even a few members makes my efforts worthwhile. I especailly value your kind comments Rifleman.

Andrew. Please don't think that the buildings in my photos are anything like the houses that the average Brit would call home. The shops in Arundel High Street are ancient & classed as listed buildings (typically Tudor I believe although I'm no expert on architecture). The same applies to the old cottages & pubs. Fortunately for us, the historic buildings in a conservation area like this are strictly preserved in their original condition as a part of the contract for owning or living in them.

Hagar my friend, don't you dare lose track of that beautiful camera.......it brings us wonderful images of your side of the world.....I enjoy these shots as much as anyone................keep doing this once in a while and I can assure you, I will keep looking............  

I second Rifleman!
I am real busy trying to finish off the inside of my house, and when I took a little break today to come to SimV, these pictures took me away from my workload for just a few minutes! I can smell the fresh air! Thanks for sharing them Doug!

I appreciate that & was not criticising.

I make no secret of the fact I live in Worthing aka the Costa Geriatrica. I was born in Brighton & have lived on the South Coast of England all my life. I've seen many beautiful places all over this country & the world but this is what I call home. I'm always glad to get back home & I never wanted to live anywhere else.

mmmm wow. i love shots of countries I have never been to which is basically all of them other than the US

[born_2_fly]

I totally agree, the south of england could possible be one of the best places to live, in my view i wouldnt trade good old Chichester for the world! where better than the heritage of our country? You can keep the emipire state....Weve got a Cathedral!

Don't get too carried away old chap. NYC has at least one cathedral. If I remember correctly, one is just across the street from the Empire State Building. It's a grand piece of architecture too which despite its size is dwarfed by the surrounding skyscrapers. I'm sure Fly2e will be happy to correct me on this if I'm wrong & fill in the details.

I'm sure I have a photo taken during my last visit to that fine city. Unfortunately I didn't have time to go inside. I'll dig it out & scan it some time if you're interested.

PS. I found the photo. The cathedral is not where I thought. I won't post it as this might cause unnecessary distress to friends of mine. This was not my intention in posting this topic.

[Fly2e]

I know which cathederal you speak of Doug.

Beautiful pictures!  Your post almost looks like something you would see in National Geographic.  ;)

There are a lot of preserved areas like that here in the US, too, although our colonial buildings aren't ancient.

If you're ever in Virginia again, you should try to visit Colonial Williamsburg, America's largest outdoor living museum.

That's because you never lived in the US midwest.  Iowa in the summer is fantasic.  I spent many a day at Lake Red Rock swimming and many winters sleeding down hills in the snow there.  The west coast of Florida is almost as nice.  Especially up around the Crystal River area.  If you've ever SCUBA dived, then you haven't lived until you done a spring in Florida.  :)
