Pasture

near Sherbourne, Warks. view map

The lush meadows of the Avon around Sherbourne, to the south-west of Warwick, look idyllic on a blustery but bright May afternoon.

The spire of the Victorian Gothic All Saints' in the village is hidden behind the centre tree; try as I might, I just couldn't get a clear shot of the meadows, herd and spire (at least, not without serious personal damage)...now THAT would have been a classic English pastoral scene!!

I have no idea why, but when I see a view like this I am always reminded of the brilliant Pink Floyd track 'Grantchester Meadows':

A lovely scene that encapsulates the English countryside at its best, this is such a wonderful time of the year.

Cracking view - but I think you should have taken a chainsaw to that pesky tree ;o))
