Wonderful shots! The sky has beautiful colors! And the last photo is excellent! Like from a fairy tale!

That second shot is just spectacular!

I like the rank of four houses on your first picture; Seen from France, that's a "very american" picture Ü..And the light of your two shots is so peaceful at this moment of the day...

VP said...

Both shots are good, but the second is outstanding!

James, the houses in the top photo: are all except the one on the right, really two houses in one, what I call semi-detached?

They look very nice yet quite old.
