UK Meet-Up: Sites, Places, Scenery - the odd attempt at "ArtyFarty"

[LaFoto]

After we have two threads on each other and how we take photos of each other , the time has come for a third thread of WHERE WE WERE, I think, and of WHAT WE SAW, other than the inside of pubs and ourselves ... or the blur of the countryside out of the car window when once again we got lost.

So I mean to begin sending in photos that do not show TPF Members, but some of what we all saw. Maybe Matt could sticky this one, too, so we can all collect our Landscape-And-Sites-Pics here?

Venue of our very first meeting each other

This one actually turned out to be our fourth pub of the day, to round off the funniest Saturday I've had in ages, The Cross Keys Bar, also in Saffron Walden.

When our feet got lame and our throats went dry, The Old English Gentleman came in handy - second pub .

Audley End House - which we only saw from afar, since there was a wedding function soon to be starting, so we would only have had minutes to walk the grounds - and that for the entrance fee they wanted. No...

Audley End House Grounds

These are the ones I have chosen to post of the first day.

wow, love the shot of St Mary's Church (arches) - #6 I think. the symmetry and perspective are outstanding. the second one is an interesting shot too, the pub-front :thumbup:.

i keep going back to the photo inside that church, i can't stop looking at it, i think i will have to give you one of these little guys.... :hail:

 

[Royster]

those are excellent shots, the saffron hotel front door shot and the stained glass window in saint marys church are my favorites. I took a shot of that one in black and white but im still waiting for the prints. Hopefully il get it before this thread expires.

I hope we do another meet up for this autumn, i love the color of trees during that season.

All the best.

hmmm do you know Corinna that most of my pictures look exactly the same?!?! funny though... but I'll find something different

 

[tempra]

A lot of mine look very similar - I do have these three though.

I think I took a photo of that same house, too! A little different from these but the same house! Were you as fascinated by the colourful, patterned walls? Hertz told me the English word for these patterns or wall ornaments, but only Christiane jotted it down into her little note book, and that is now 3-hours-drive further south --- and the word has all disappeared from my old, rusty memory. Duh!:meh:
Shall I go look for my photo?

This is my version of the blue house, and a collage of the pink and white house - as you can see in Tempra's photo, those were to the left and the right of the blue.

 

[mentos_007]

heh those are really nice Corinna... and yeah... I knew this word too... Graham... where are you? Could you help us???!??!

 

[tempra]

strange how we all got a shot of the same house eh? is it artex? or something older than that?

 

[errant_star]

Some interesting shots everyone ... seems you all had some great shooting happening :mrgreen:

Do you remember this one Corinna?

Oh, I forgot to say: of course I remember this plaque, Mentos, isn't it ever so silly and funny to put something up like this???? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Others must have some photos of buildings and places, too! I know that Royster went for a stroll around the market, for exampe... oh, and I have undug a photo that I took at the market, just this one:
