Visiting Great Britain is still in our plans for the future but I enjoy my armchairs travels in the meantime. I also love architecture and these are gorgeous. The "House and tree, Cotehele" looks like it could be a painting. It would MAKE a beautiful painting.
I've voted for your gallery.
Guest 26-Jul-2006 14:19
Beautiful gallery, I have visited many of the National Trust properties in Kent & Sussex, you really get fantastic value for money and see some beautiful places

Chris, These are truly inspiring photographs, Great composition and wonderful colors. Keep up the good work, you got my vote.
Guest 01-Jun-2005 07:44
Loved your pictures. We spent 3 weeks in GB last summer and saw a few National Trust properties - Favorites: Lyme Park & Wilton House. What a great idea to have a gallery just for them -- we plan to go back next year and do something just like this!

Thanks!
