Richmond upon Thames: the view from London's "Arcadia" along the River Thames in Southwest London.
In many ways England in 1714 was not a very nice place to live, but then again, it seems to have been absolutely magnificent. Strange.

It was a nice place to live for the very wealthy!
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent photo! I like the symmetry, the colour and lighting. Bravo! i
It was ever thus! Nice shot. Beautiful detail, light, colour.

In its very detail it is very strikikng. The colours are magnificent. It must cost a fortune to upkeep. May I spoil the mood by noting that the thumbnail reminds me of "superman" the logo?
ReplyDeleteFirst I wanted to write: there were always contrasts in those times but when thinking about it: there are contrasts in all times, even today.
