Visiting Great Britain is still in our plans for the future but I enjoy my armchairs travels in the meantime. I also love architecture and these are gorgeous. The "House and tree, Cotehele" looks like it could be a painting. It would MAKE a beautiful painting.
I've voted for your gallery.
Guest 26-Jul-2006 14:19

Chris, These are truly inspiring photographs, Great composition and wonderful colors. Keep up the good work, you got my vote.
Guest 01-Jun-2005 07:44
Loved your pictures. We spent 3 weeks in GB last summer and saw a few National Trust properties - Favorites: Lyme Park & Wilton House. What a great idea to have a gallery just for them -- we plan to go back next year and do something just like this!

Thanks!
