English landscapes

We live in a beautiful part of the U.K., in a village called Martock, in Somerset. About once a week we head off somewhere for a walk and I take pictures! I love taking landscapes, so here's a gallery devoted to some of the best. Please come again and, if you like what you see, please drop in on one or two of my other galleries. Thanks for stopping by. Please sign the Guest Book. Kind regards, Chris.

Thanks Chris, I have been looking for inspiration for my art class, your pictures really explore colour and texture, just what i was looking for

Wow, lovely pics, Chris. Great job and congrats! I'm going to use your pics as backdrops for my upcoming play, Macbeth. The pics will be projected on the wall to simulate the scenery. I hope you will feel proud that we in Malaysia appreciate your photos. Since I'm only using the secondary 2 pupils and since English is our second language, I've simplified some of Shakespeare's language (the old geezer would turn in his grave! LOL). I hope the English appreciate that in this day and age people in faraway lands still study and perform Shakespeare.

Dear Chris, I love your pictures! I am disabled with Multiple Sclerosis and wheelchair bound now but you are taking me to a much loved view of my Country. May God Bless you for all the happiness you are giving me! I am slowly downloading them and keeping them for the rest of my life.

Stunning images Chris. Composition and colours both strong. You live in a very beautiful part of England, but it still requries the skill of the photographer to get the best out of what he is presented with. You have that skill. You get my vote!!

Chris, you have talent.
By the way, have you read 'Rogue Male' by Geofry Household? - fantastic 1930's thriller about a fugitive who goes to ground - literally - in West Dorset......

Chris, you made me discover this area. You have no cause to be jealous of Tuscany!! Great mastery as usual.

I have some good friends who live in Langport, Somerset, and the scenes depicted here are some of the places I've been when visiting them (although I live in California). I love the English landscape--thank you for representing it so well and sharing it here.
