 | Bernd Fischer(17th May 2013)A beautiful church |
 | Bernd Fischer(17th May 2013)Good job , there is a Pub in Dry Doddington , just in case the inhabitants get a bit too dry ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(17th May 2013)I`vd driven past the signpost to Dry Doddington many times , going down South on the A1 . I had no idea , that there is such a treasure hidden in it ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(17th May 2013)Beautiful ,just like an oil painting by an Old Master ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(17th May 2013)Kent , "the garden of England" ! Typical for the County are orchards and oast houses . Very nice picture ! |

 | Bernd Fischer(16th May 2013)Last time I was in the Mermaid Inn was 1976 , but even though , I don`think , it is . |
 | Bernd Fischer(16th May 2013)One of the many nice things about the picture : It has not been taken with a digital camera and you had to control the exposure yourself . |
 | Bernd Fischer(16th May 2013)One expects hot lava and ashes to erupt from the top . |
| Bernd Fischer(16th May 2013)A great range of colours ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(16th May 2013)Looks like there must have benn water dripping from the camera . A good demonstration , that this is a wet part of the Country . |
 | Bernd Fischer(16th May 2013)I love the soft colours and the drops on the metal railings . |
 | Bernd Fischer(16th May 2013)Well chosen point of view . That`s what past attackers had to face . |
 | Bernd Fischer(16th May 2013)A graphic description of "old" ! |
 |  Bernd Fischer(16th May 2013)The character of the picture , as described by the comments , is due to the equipment : I used a pre-war Contax II with an uncoated pre-war Biogon 3,5cm f2.8 . The lens lacks the bite of modern coated lenses with their high saturation and contrast , but produces images of great charm . |
 | Bernd Fischer(15th May 2013)A fitting name and a very nice picture ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(15th May 2013)Excellent pic of a beautiful church ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(15th May 2013)My first thoughts were : "night?" and "ferry?" , but the explanation came with the next pic . Wonderful shot ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(15th May 2013)I have full sympathy with the one , who made off to the Pub ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(15th May 2013)Excellent ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(15th May 2013)When I think of "Stamford Bridge" , something completely different comes to mind ( not as tranquil as this one here ) .

 | Bernd Fischer(14th May 2013)Nice pic, but I`d hate to live there . |
 | Bernd Fischer(14th May 2013)Poor old thing seems to be groaning under the load of modern traffic . |
 | Bernd Fischer(8th May 2013)Gives me a feeling of vertigo . |
 | Bernd Fischer(8th May 2013)This is almost too good to be true . |
| Bernd Fischer(8th May 2013)Daring architecture , but withstood the test of time ! |
| Bernd Fischer(8th May 2013)This picture gives an idea of the scale of the whole set-up ! |

 | Bernd Fischer(8th May 2013)I love it , when the bluebells are like a blue mist above the ground . |
 | Bernd Fischer(8th May 2013)A nicely framed building . |
 | Bernd Fischer(25th April 2013)By the way , the wheel on the right looks like an old "Fergie" tractor . No steam , yet ancient . |
 | Bernd Fischer(24th April 2013)Good composition : The fence leads the eye to the windmill . |
 | Bernd Fischer(23rd April 2013)A wonderful building ! A pity about the car and the lawn mower . |
 | Bernd Fischer(23rd April 2013)So much better than the one with the blue car at the left . |
|  Bernd Fischer(23rd April 2013)A dear little cottage ! But next time , pleaae ask the occupier , if you can remove the wheely bins for a moment . |
 | Bernd Fischer(23rd April 2013)A close shave ! |

| Bernd Fischer(19th April 2013)A nice , quiet and peaceful scene !
Looking at the gravestones reminds me , that St. Giles` church records belong to the oldest in the country .
Back to 1537 for baptisms and to 1540 for marriages and deaths . |
| Bernd Fischer(19th April 2013)I` m glad , you went to see it and thanks for posting the pictures . |
 | Bernd Fischer(19th April 2013)A church well worth looking at , but thousands drive past without even noticing it . |

 | Bernd Fischer(14th April 2013)Lovely picture , but spoilt a bit by the severe distortion . |
 | Bernd Fischer(13th April 2013)I always loved the lambs on Romney Marsh . Apart from the whistling of the wind , their bah-ing ( and the answering of the ewes ) , was the only sound I heard , when cycling through the Marsh . |
 | Bernd Fischer(13th April 2013)Nicely composed pic ! Please , take it again , when all the daffodils are open . |

 | Bernd Fischer(9th April 2013)Nature is gradually taking over again . Nice picture ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(8th April 2013)The dog thinks : "I`m not walking through this . Let him do it" .
Proper winter and nice to look at ! |
 | Bernd Fischer(8th April 2013)Probably not resistent enough to the local rain . |
 | Bernd Fischer(8th April 2013)"way out" in Welsh is probably so long , that they couldn`t fit it onto the sign . |
 | Bernd Fischer(8th April 2013)Lovely old fashioned station ! Can anybody quote its name in Welsh in one go , without having to stop midway to breathe ? |

 | Bernd Fischer(5th April 2013)Pedestrianisation was a real bonus for Bridge Street , which used to be seriously congested by traffic most of the time . |
| Bernd Fischer(5th April 2013)A beautiful bird ! |
| Bernd Fischer(5th April 2013)This is not a House Martin , but a Swift .
These magnificent birds have problems starting from flat ground , because of their short legs and huge wing span .
Your husband has done the right thing by launching him from his hand .
Apart from the weeks , when they are rearing their young , they spend their lives on their wings ; they even sleep and mate airborne . |
 | Bernd Fischer(5th April 2013)Industrial arcitecture has gone downhill a lot after 1906 ! |

 | Bernd Fischer(2nd April 2013)Legend has it , that at some time in the distant past , the devil travelled across the country and set down on the spire , to have a rest . As a result of this sacrilege , the spire took its present shape . According to this legend , it will go straight again , once a virgin gets married in the church ( chance would be a fine thing ) . |
