Those are beautiful photos. Where do you live. I like the old church. And what is that yellow stuff growing in the fields in the first photo?

Love #4! I think it could do with a bit more contrast, IMO. How nice to have such lovely views within walking distance!

Where I live

It's a secret .......ok ........... near Burford . The old church has quite a history ......
The tiny 12th century church of St. Oswald's is almost all that remains of the lost village of Widford, Oxfordshire. In the 14th century there were thirteen houses, a mill, a manor house and farm buildings but it is thought that the Black Death caused the settlement to be abandoned. The church and graveyard are still beautifully kept and in regular use.

The church was built over the remains of a Roman villa and still retains some Roman paving in the chancel. On the walls there are some interesting 14th century murals, while the high-backed pews date from the 18th century.

, and it just gorgeous ...you can smell the history when you walk in .......

The yellow stuff is rape seed , now grown in vast amounts by farmers throughout the land , as it is more profitable than other cereals etc ........ plays havoc with hay fever sufferers though .

I also like to ride my bike around these roads ..........
