This gallery is now a complete year of Daily photos, and although it has felt like a chore on some days I have to say that it has been great fun most of the time. When I started my intention was to challenge myself to try new things, especially to get out of my landscape comfort zone and make myself a more rounded photographer. I've certainly tried lots of new things, had a few disasters, some near misses, and lots of pleasant surprises. But the biggest pleasure is always reading other people's comments and checking out their galleries. There are so many talented people on here that it beggars belief. I really appreciate any comments, especially the constructive ones. I am now moving on to a new gallery for my second year.........
27.5.08 - I snatched a brief photography session around the Cathedral precinct this afternoon. It was grey and drizzly, but I was keen to see what I could make of the conditions. I've added several images to my Watercolour Gallery here: http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4518270_XDZuH#302451809_T9HAu
and one to my Hometown Gallery here;

but the more I looked at this I wanted it to be my Daily. I can't look at old cottages like this without thinking about the people that have lived there, and the lives they led. This building is several hundred years old, so many generations will have lived and died here. Kings and Queens have walked (or ridden) this way, battles have been fought here, not to mention the myriad of experiences of all families from the dawn of time. The Cathedral is immediately to the right of this shot, so the people that lived here will have had one of the world's great views out of their windows too. Of course people continue to live here, and so the story continues......
