    Great pictures Miles.
    The sunset looks as though it should be in the orient not Lincolnshire.
    Love these - keep them coming

    Miles,

    Some beautiful shots there…. I’m drawn to the pans, the light just hitting at the correct angle, it could only be a professional kitchen… and then there’s the barn, how dream like. We all appreciate the effort that goes into these images and the fact that you share them with us.

    p.s. That room probably belongs to a woman judging by the 007 poster :)

    Rod,
    Many thanks, it is a beautiful skyline regardless of the time of day or year. Quite magical really.

    Cid,
    Thank you, I quite enjoy putting these on and I’m glad that it has your approval. The content will vary according to the level of ‘life’ I have in any given week, so you can look forward (or not) to plenty of kitchen shots :(

    Hi Miles:

    Great shots.

    Particularly like Cid’s pots and the country lane. . .

    Rod, do you really live there, in Orangeville, UK?

    Miles,
    Super photos again - each one telling its own story. The road to Grizedale looks so colourful. I bet the autumn display in that area is spectacular right now. Thank you for sharing.

    Miles,

    I don’t know what it is about your pans, but I find your photos of them absolutely fascinating. Your shots are every bit as stunning as you claim the Grizedale woods are right now.

    How the other half lives? Hmmm? I’m trying to figure that description out. Although it looks a bit sparse, there’s lots to look at in that photo. Including the photographer.

    :-)

    Thank you. Glad I didn’t miss this series. I’ve been out of town at a conference and am now playing catch-up.

    Melissa,
    Wondered where you’d got to :)
    Welcome back! Thanks for the kind words, it’s sometimes nice to switch off from food once in a while.
