Well, prettier, at least!<BR/><BR/>I saw some pre-pre-dawn farming activity in one of the areas near Villigen and thought of your comment about the winter wheat needing to be in by the 16th of August. I haven't had the chance to be out in the fields much, and it doesn't look like I will until September so I'm probably going to miss a lot.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03348318649247181165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-60926338033992159172007-08-16T17:01:00.000+01:002007-08-16T17:01:00.000+01:00Richard, tks so much for that stunning water colou...Richard, tks so much for that stunning water colour addition to this posting.....amazing to see how unchanged it is!!!Chuckeroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06933397626094422959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-28548030130164733412007-08-16T11:29:00.000+01:002007-08-16T11:29:00.000+01:00Nice shot.

Sadly not for a long time now, but soon perhaps. It's one of the timeless views (using that word a lot these days) of Richmond Bridge, and a lot better than being stuck on it in a car. <BR/><BR/>As such it's been a favourite with artists (Turner had a house close by). I like this watercolour, which shows that the path was used in much the same way 150 years ago<BR/><A HREF="http://www.arm.ac.uk/~csj/aumonier/paintings/richmond_bridge.html" REL="nofollow">Richmond Bridge Watercolour</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-13671614968673563642007-08-15T22:56:00.000+01:002007-08-15T22:56:00.000+01:00I remember coming here as a teenager, accompanying...I remember coming here as a teenager, accompanying my best friend to meet her dad, estranged from her mum. We walked with him along the path, sat on the side and had an ice cream. I watched her enjoy the time. He seemed to enjoy it too in a much more detached way though. This was important for her. Later, we said goodbye and went home on the bus, the two of us, her trying not to cry. Sorry it's not a happy thing on your blog, but this area means that to me.
