It’s been my birthday today and by luck I was able to rearrange my teaching so I could spend the day with some photographer friends at Lacock in Wiltshire. The whole of Lacock village is owned by the National Trust and it’s a photographer’s paradise. I took 235 photos during the course of the day around the village and in the Abbey and its gardens. I haven’t had time to go through all of them since I’ve been home but I’ve posted the two which jumped off the screen at me as I zipped through them this evening.

I love them both. Happy Birthday! Mgb527 · 2009-03-09: 20:10

Great to see you have been to the home of photography - I love the door handle - the texture of the wood is fantastic. davids · 2009-03-13: 09:50
