It's such a pleasure to find stunning photos as these. Each capture took me to that place...I'm ready to book a flight to the UK today! (which is where I want to visit one day) X Deb

Fantastic Album. All the photos are well exposed and framed plus you have captured the charm of these places. I love that Polperro it was my favourite village when I visited that part of England. You have some wonderful Albums on show Rod and your photographic skills shine through. Regards from Terry.

Gorgeous photos. I feel fortunate to live in the West Country and your photos really bring that home. The area has a unique beauty. Your photos also make me miss Cornwall. I have not visited for over a year and must in the spring. I've added some photos to my page from a trip to Dartmoor I did in September which you may like. David, Bristol

Dear Rod, This album has brought back some lovely memories for me. I first visited Devon and Cornwall in 1970. I loved everything about it - the little coves and inlets, the villages and the countryside. Your photography always portrays the various scenes beautifully. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes, Judith, from Australia.

Hello Rod, Another gorgeous album - you have so many of them I can always find something new to admire! Thank you. Thanks also for your kind comments in my sunsets today. It was the first time I had shot a sunset and I really didn't know what setting to use, so I just tried everything and ended up with about 75 shots - that's an amateur for you! (Most of them were binned, of course!) Take care, Mandy

Ohhhh, Rod, each of your additions speaks volumes - your photos stand with the very best of them anywhere. I agree with Jill, that the sky at Topsham is gorgeous as is the rest of the subject, tho' I'm not sure what the boat up on land intends to do. *grin* Your photo and description of the ferry on the River Dart was good too. I keep looking at your work and learning ... Judy

said home_base 2006.04.28 at 18:11:13 PDT

Dear Rod, OOO I like the new additions some great clouds in the sky at Topsham. Thank you so much for your recent GB entries I can hardly keep up these days :-/ LOL. In answer to whether we have planned a holiday, Lots of things are happening to make planning anything just now difficult but I'm sure we will do something and probably at short notice. The Marshes at Elmley are amazing but the Isle of Sheppey is not the most picturesque place to visit. It was hard to get miles of marshland to look intersting. Have you planned a visit to your homeland yet ? Take care now, Jill

said jillbatchelor2 2006.04.25 at 11:32:49 PDT

Hi rod. Many thanks for your more than nice coments in my last featured albom - "walking in Ceasarea" I must say that I am excited from the fact that you had been so many times featured, and it's represent the fact that you yourself are a great artist. I wish you all the best. From Israel - Ran

I enjoyed the photo of Widemouth Bay. It brought back memories of when I used to go surfing there in the 50's on family holidays - seems like a long time ago. I took my family there in 1989 and was reminded just how cold the water can be - compared to what we are used to in the Gulf of Mexico, and then again in 2003 my wife and I hiked there in a howling gale from Bude. Peter

said pwmacg 2006.04.16 at 03:54:02 PDT

Hi Rod, Hey look, I'm following Judy! I think it was through Judy that I visited your albums so I'm grateful to her for that. Thanks for your kind comments about my Cotswold album. I had a lovely time there and was lucky with the weather. You must get back there again. I had hoped to visit quite a few other places but didn't get a chance. It doesn't take me long to get there so hopefully I will get back in the summer. I visited this album some time ago and have just gone through it again. I love them all - you are a fine photographer Rod! My favourites are #2 Levant mine. My brother would love that. He was very into tin mines at one point and came close to writing a book about them. #44 is another beautiful shot. I adore reflections in water and they are captured superbly in this photo. #38 is also a stunner! Truly beautiful. I don't know if you ever see a photo and it brings a lump to your throat Rod but your photo's are amongst the ones that do that to me. I hope you and your family are well and that you have a great Easter. Take Care. Chesca

<font color="navy"> Dear Rod - I love your pictures of Devon and your newest additions are wonderful! I do not know the term "shingled beach," but would it equate to 'pebbled' or 'rocky' as we might say here in the US? The springtime warmth shows in your photos and I know you are happy to have your long hard winter behind you! ... I was happy to see that I helped 'introduce' you to Chesca back in January - it's fun to spread the word on good work! </font><br> <center><font color="red"> Easter blessings, Judy aka L@dybug, Florida </font></center>

said ladybug591 2006.04.10 at 10:55:49 PDT

Dear Rod, I love the new additions to this album but you know what its like I have to view everyone of these pictures each time I visit. I really liked the view of Dartmoor and Bowerman's Nose and also the shot of the beach at Sidmouth you were very lucky with the light on that occasion. Some of the other pictures looked different to me too but I couldn't work out if they were new ones or whether it was new titles. Whatever it is always a pleasure to view your pictures. Thank you so much for visiting both my Sandwich album and also my new Spring album I am so looking forward to warmer temperatures and real springlike weather so I can get out and about some more as I'm sure you are too. Take care now Jill

Hi Rod, Do like taking tours with you, a pleasure to view while you cover the area with descriptions, color and beauty. A picture of a steam train in one of your ending pictures was a grand 'find' for me, I was looking at the very large boat marina, thanks for 'pointing' it out. Downloaded The Cott Inn, the Luscombe Castle and the red poppies, couldn't pass up a good bargain on color! The houses in #11 -really that close together? They look like a whole lot of buildings that are all glued together. An interesting picture though, good composition throughout. Thanks for your time. Best regards and greetings from the South Coast of Oregon. Ron

Hello Rod, I never tire of your wonderful skill, every picture a gem, as my australian mate Peter quotes it is all on you doorstep but you still have to have the light subject and the eye, and you certainly have all three requiements, thanks for your kind words on my Durham album, it was such a pity that the weather was appalling, I hope to go again up to Northumberland in May or June next year, so like you I will try and replace some of them with better pics. especially in Durham and Newcastle its self. again a wonderful album and knowing most of the places it as if we were there. take care and the very best of regards Ken

It must be so nice to be able to get in your car and take a drive to such wonderful places knowing that you'll be there in a matter of minutes. (Well, MOST of the places anyway). Great to see another angle on Teignmouth and that doorway made from a boat looks so perfectly in keeping with it's surrounds. I imagine the River Dart scene is Kingswear and that the steam train is a tourist special (I think I once told you that I have a wonderful painting of The Cornishman just about to enter Teignmouth station). The Bude photo also holds memories of some wonderful holidays in the late 1940's/early 1950's when we always stayed at Stratton. Beautiful photos as always Rod. Many thanks for your entries in my two Flowery guest books - I seem to have a thing about flowers right now mainly, I think, because they are all coming out again after their winter "sleep" But now the weather is gradually starting to warm up once more so it won't be long before we get out and about again and I can revert to my more natural element of land and seascape photography. Thanks again for your interest and encouragement and I have another photo I would like to email you for possible ID if you don't mind. Best wishes, Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.10.22 at 18:50:18 PDT

Hi Rod, love the additions, do you know that beach in Bude was almost empty in Hun when I was there even though it was a glorious day, I bet you are haveing lots of fun revisiting all these wonderful places. I never tire of going to our special place on this side of the country each in its own way beautiful. I wonder if in years to come our photographs will be looked at and remarked upon, it seems though to us they are timeless, Thanks for these wonderful views and take care Ken

Hi Rod, I never tire of looking at this wonderful album, so very authentic the the west country or in my navy days Janner land, thats any where south of Pymouth. great pics, thanks for the GB on my I'm album. yes the pics have come from all the past year virtualy. Whenever I go out with my camera now I sometimes look at a subject and put the caption to it before I take the picture. It opens a whole range of things which normaly you would not give a tinkers cuss for. Thanks again and best regards Ken

said hircock100 2005.10.10 at 08:38:55 PDT

Hi again Rod and I appreciate very much your words in my new Wild Flowers and Country Towns album, That was about the only really clear day that we had all week but even then the wind was blowing like crazy most of the time. You can't win 'em all but at least we didn't get more than half an hour of rain all week which didn't please the farmers very much but no objections from us. You will be overjoyed (!) to know that there will be at least 7 more albums to come out of this trip and most will be in my georgieboy05 account. LOL. Now off to my weekly exercise class so catch you later. Regards, Peter

said wmcaroline2003 2005.09.06 at 05:08:08 PDT

A lovely photo of Sidmouth Rod and I think one of the things that makes it so interesting is the total lack of people. It somehow adds an air of mystery to the picture - you find yourself wondering when someone is going to come on the scene and start that boat up and just how far out to see they will be going. I love it. Strangely Sidmouth is one of the few places on that coast that we never got to visit. While I've got you I want to thank you for looking at my Local Countryside album and for the kind words you wrote in my GB. The purpose of those photos was to satisfy the many people who have asked me what the countryside is like around us. They were actually taken in SHQ mode, about the highest jpeg you can get, the next step up being TIFF. Each pic came in at around 2.7mbs and viewed on screen I really can't tell the difference between that mode and the next one down. Today I bought an ND filter for the Olympus so will be out experimenting with it at the first opportunity. Had hoped to have another look at the Nikon today but it seems I have missed my chance for the time being, but the offer will be repeated (they tell me) in a few weeks time. All best wishes, Peter

Hi Rod, It says thereare new ones but I seem to have seen all these before, never mind it is always a pleasure to look at your creations again, they age with time like a good wine, take care Ken

said hircock100 2005.09.05 at 23:36:58 PDT

Rod, This is awesome. It is wonderful to view the photos on the slideshow. I love the reflections and my favorite it the eye reflection of the bridge. How neat. God Bless, Jane

said janeloughney 2005.08.28 at 16:12:48 PDT

Another great photo to celebrate the first anniversary of this album. I'm looking forward to the day when you actually get to take us on a trip on that narrow boat. I am fascinated by these craft and recently read a couple of books written by a lady who, with her hubby, sold their house and bought a narrow boat in which they spent the next few years blissfully cruising most of England's canals. A great read. If I can find them again I'll joy down the titles and author and send it to you. Cheers for now. Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.08.25 at 18:48:52 PDT

Hi Rod, thank you for the GB entries they are much appreciated. This album is gorgeous, I just had to have the horse drawn barge and the poppies, Thanks for a trip down memory lane. hugs from Chris and Jay

said speedo999 2005.08.25 at 03:51:34 PDT

Hi Rod thanks for the GB on the colours a lot of fun going back to being a child again, Which brings me back to these additions at Tiverton, I can rembember when I was vey young barges full of sugar beet being towed up the Creek through Upwell where I was born, Just as in your pics. brings back a lot of memories, take care Ken

said hircock100 2005.08.24 at 03:51:59 PDT

It's always a pleasure to come back to what I have long believed is the finest album in all Webshots. Additions or not I always have to go right back to the start and work my way through! The Fowey shots are wonderful and, as always, you have successfully captured the atmosphere of the place so well. And as for the two Tiverton photos, well they are just superb. That old carthorse would have been a dream to photograph and I have always had a love affair with narrow boats! Marvellous work Rod. All the best Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.08.23 at 21:08:05 PDT

Hi Rod, don't know if there are any new ones or not but I had another look at this wonderful album again. I enjoy your work so much so it is always a pleasure to come back, Been down to Suffolk and managed to find a few jems, Nice county even got some quaint fishing places, Take care Ken

said hircock100 2005.08.23 at 14:31:28 PDT

He Rod and many thanks for your entry in my Bells Rapids guest book. Its been a funny winter for rain - the wettest June in 76 years followed by the driest July since 1871 and now August is shaping up to be just about spot on average. As the dams are only at 30% capacity though, with summer round the corner, things could be better, for sure! Webshots seem to have resolved the problems I was having and have found the missing albums - strangely I haven't come across anyone else with the same problem that you have but did notice yesterday that one of my favourites had all their albums duplicated!! With over a million photos posted yesterday alone it is not really surprising that things are starting to get a bit out of hand! Catch you later - am being dragged off out for the weekly shopping trip! Peter

said georgieboy05 2005.08.22 at 17:03:30 PDT

Thanks for the trip aropund the Westcountry Rod, as always your compositions are excellent, the one that caught my eye was the light on the tin mine with the beautiful sky as a backdrop. regards, Louise

said lcmcgil 2005.08.17 at 08:06:41 PDT

Hello Chris, I just discovered your beautiful nature shots of Cornwall. Absolutely stunning photography, simply letting the light and scenery stand for themselves, creating magnificient images. I love 4 of them especially,Boscastle, the Levant Tin Mine , Whitesand Beach, and Rural Devon. The absolute dreamer is the colours of summer. I will enjoy looking at them on my computerscreen in northern California . Thanks! Marion Stevens

Hi Rod - another album of yours which was featured once...and should be featured once again :o)The album so full of gems that it is difficult to choose the favorite one - that's why I have chosen three...Beautiful Sunset (#2)with the awesome Light, "A Good Eye" (#26) and the last one picture here "The Colours of Summer". I would also like to thank you for choosing a picture in Danish May album - I am glad to inform you that #5 belongs to you. Have a wonderful Sunday. Tami :o)

Hi again Rod, I know I have viewed this album before & cannot understand why I did not put a message in GB then. Like this album a lot especially the Levant tin mine @ sunset. Have spent many happy hols in Cornwall when kids were young, about time we went back again! PS like your poppies but you need to come to Norfolk for real poppy fields! Eric

Hello Rod, I am a jealous as hell of these wonderful images of your wonderful part of the world, so many little fishing ports to go to, and I concur with what Peter says you have captured the atmosphere brilliantly, I have recently had to content myself with the two magnificent Cathedrals in our region, cant compete with cornish fishing villages, great work Rod. Question do you constantly taake photos out and add new ones, I like to do that just for my ego of thinking I am making it better all the time, then along comes a gb with a fov in that I think is not very good, can't win Good luck mate and some wonderful additions I like the two poppy shots, Ken or Carolynn whichever you prefer

said hircock100 2005.07.17 at 23:25:34 PDT

Is it The Atmosphere of Cornwall you have added? If so it is a super-magnificent photo and you have REALLY captured the atmosphere of that old place. We have a Vernon Ward print on our living room wall of almost that same scene but somehow you have managed to get that extra indefinable something into it. Excellent work and I'll be taking that as a screen saver. Best wishes from a cold land down under (cold this morning, anyway!) Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.07.17 at 16:43:03 PDT

Glad to find you here Rod! Thank you so much for your comment on my feature and congratulations on your albums with the wonderful landscapes of your country...Ciao, Anna

said anpagnac 2005.07.01 at 16:19:48 PDT

Hi Rod, Oh My am I glad I have found you albums now and this one is just fantasic. I was going to try to get back to you quicker and thank you for your suggestion on another webshot member to look at before we go to Scotland so thank you for that but I was kinda of a busy girl last week with something very exciting for us when we visited a local nature reserve that has wild beavers and then many more trips out too last week. When we go to Scotland we are staying a few days on Mull which I am really looking forward to and then a week at Fort William. As you will see from some of my albums we are walkers who enjoy climbing the mountains but we can't do that everyday so we are looking for places to visit too. Out came my map book to work out how far Aviemore is from Fort William when you said thats where you had stayed recently. What a fantastic place to grow up but where you live now is just as picturesque, just very different. It's an impossible task to choose a favourite from this album but the ones of Looe and Polperro will be high up there and then there is the beutiful poppy fields too It just says summer to me :o) Take care now and I will be back to view more very soon, Jill. PS. Boscastle is where we stayed for our honeymoon 24years ago so thank you for the reminder of that most beutiful place. Such an awful shame about the floods last year :o(

said jillbatchelor 2005.06.28 at 04:32:12 PDT

Love all the additions Rod. Fowey will always be remembered from the time we were having a look around the castle. Betty suddenly went as white as a ghost and said she could hear noises coming from down in the dungeons. I've never seen her move so fast before - just couldn't get away quick enough. LOL Those fields with the poppies in the foreground are just so wonderful and so very ENGLISH. I still subscribe to This England and that is typical of the photos they publish on a regular basis. Beautiful. Glad you liked the jigsaw by the way! Cheers now, Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.06.28 at 00:38:10 PDT

Hi Rod. The fishermen's cottages at Cornwall look so just right built right on the water as they are. The rural scene with wild flowers in the forground is great too. Thanks for sharing mate. Best wishes Al..

Hello Rod! I wish I had commented on this album sooner.Your photos,as in your other albums,are exquisite!You have a wonderful eye for detail and the best angle--I hope to someday be half as skilled .It's not difficult to see why this album was chosen as a feature! P.S. Really rather like the newest inclusion.___Nancy/Canada

said greyhairs1 2005.06.25 at 08:36:03 PDT

Hi Rod. Love those Looe and Polperro photos and you are so fortunate in having such picturesque places so close to hand. We visited both during our holiday in '97 but it POURED down and we couldn't even make out Looe Island, it was so murky! Do you go down that way very often? You must have added the EYE photo one day when I was looking the other way - that's indeed a magnificent shot. Would that be the north side of Totnes as the Dart heads off to the moors? Cheers now, Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.06.23 at 19:53:46 PDT

Hi Rod. As per usual I love your photos. I think the one you call "The Eye" is a masterpiece. I could mention all the photos but I won't. I'll give the 1000 year old cathedral an honorable mention. lol. Thanks mate. Cheers Al.

said shortshooter 2005.06.23 at 16:32:12 PDT

Hello Rod, on looking through your photographs in this album makes me want to visit the area, I may persuade Doug to take me down there in the not too distant future. You have captured the area well and the ones that stands out for me is the Cott inn and the beautiful sandy bays. Louise

said lcmcgil 2005.06.21 at 01:15:34 PDT

Hi Rod, i just came round to your albums first time tonight. I need to quit and have a bite but its hard. I keep saying, &quot;just one more.&quot; Now I know I will just have to go to Cornwall and west Country. The Admiral Benbow Inn in Pensanze is just as I imagined it when I read, &quot;Kidnapped,& quot; as a young lad. Had no idea it was real or may still exist! I will mark you a favorite.

said davidghallowell 2005.05.25 at 11:01:44 PDT

Hi Rod, I can understand why you feel so good about the West country as I do about East Anglia, both have there charm, I am aboyt to have 10 days or so down in a farm cottage in Cornwall, Peter (georgieboy) suggested that I should have a look at your Albums I am so pleased that he has, some really exquisite photograhy, I love The eye, We have been to Devon on several occasions but only once to Cornwall many years ago. So you have given us a good insight of what is to come. I shall have a look at all your albums during the course of the next few weeks, in the meantime take care Ken

said hircock100 2005.05.14 at 22:45:14 PDT

Hi Rod. Your photos are so clear and a pleasure to look at. I think my favs would be the ones taken around Cornwall but than again, Devon is very nice as well. I love the shot you called &quot;Rural Devon&quot; with the farm house in the vast expanse of green country side. You don't leave us to ask anything because you have captions and comments for every photo. Another top album and I thankyou for sharing it. Best wishes from Australia Al...

Hi Rod. Luscombe Castle - what a superb shot this is. That touch of mist is sheer magic and this is fast becoming one of the best albums in Webshots, not only from the point of view of the content but also for the quality of your photography. Wonderful work. Peter in Western Australia

said georgieboy98 2005.04.04 at 00:51:44 PDT

Hi Rod and this is a wonderful addition and a highly imaginative shot - just what photography is all about. Great work. Harping back to Powderham Castle, could I have been confusing that with Berry Pomeroy? That name suddenly came back to me but I can't for the life of me remember where it is.

Love the last photo Rod. That ferry doesn't seem to have changed much in appearance over the years although I dare say the price has gone up somewhat from the twopence that I remember. If you get the chance would you try and take a look at my Fabulous Beaches of the Recherche Archipelago album - slightly different from the gorgeous little Cornish coves. best wishes, Peter in Western Australia

said georgieboy98 2005.03.18 at 19:54:01 PST

Hello again Rod and thanks for looking at my album and your generous comments in my guestbook. Coming from you they are comments that I value highly. I was looking at the photo here of Powderham Castle - am I mistaken or has it been restored in recent years? I seem to remember it was not in a very good state of repair back in the 1960's but I COULD be confusing it with another castle in the same area. Either way it is a super photo and the framing sets it off to perfection. regards, Peter in Western Australia

Hi again Rod and greetings from down under. As always this album has completely blown me away. Possibly knowing most of the places has something to do with that but I have checked on my pics of the same areas and no way can they compare with yours. Has any of the snow reached down there yet? I would love to see some photos of Devon and Cornwall under a layer of that stuff! I well remember a huge snowstorm many, many years ago while we were living up the hill in Teignmouth.I think it would have been about 1969/70. We couldn't get out for two days and the Exeter Road was completely blocked off. If you get a minute I would like you to have a look at my latest On The Road Again album and see what you think of our state - it is vastly different from that wonderful west country. Best wishes, Peter in Western Australia

Rod - I've enjoyed my travels through your part of the world. My ancestors came from the Gillingham/Shaftesbury area and I've never been there, so I'm accumulating a list of places to visit. Needless to say, Dorset county and the western England on on that list. I love the timelessness of your tall ships photo; I'd also love to see the shot in colour for comparison. Keep shooting ...

Rod - to me ALL of your albums are superb as I have an innate love for the west country. But PLEASE have a quick look at my latest album FIRE posted today after 24 very harrowing hours spent in close proximity to a raging wild fire that was deliberately lit. Very scary and far removed from the usual photos I like to take. I would value your opinion. regards Peter in Western Australia

Dear Rod, I vote for &quot;Rural Devon&quot; as my absolute favorite in this group. The rolling green is balm for the spirit!I added it to my revolving screen saver. I admit though, 'Whitesand Bay' came a close second- landscapes are always my favorites. One that caught my eye for a few minutes, and surprised me that it did was the 'Brixham Inner Harbor'- what a fabulous picture!- I would title it &quot;Windows&quo t;.

Hi Rod and Congratulations on an absolutely beautiful album full of purely breathtaking photos! Each and every one of these photos is a Calendar picture and I think I downloaded nearly everyone as they are just simply stunning! I read a book many years ago called Penmarric set in Cornwall a couple of centuries ago and just loved it, and seeing Penzance and Cornwall is just like home! There has always been something about there that has always drawn me and this album is definitely a great feature and it is just WOW!! AWESOME!! tk you soo much for sharing your beautiful Westcountry of England as it sure is a treasure to behold! &quot;Whitesand Bay Cornwall&quot; is just stunning and soo reminds me of Aussie!! Have a really great Feature day as you sure deserve it....Em from Aussie

Hi Chris! Thankyou for sharing this well-presented album with your beautiful images of Cornwall and Devon. Every shot is a winner.. I love the Cottage Garden and the Sunset on the Tin Mine, and remember seeing those disastrous floods on TV.. Will return later to view more of your albums.. Gladys, Western Australia.

Hello Chris, What a fantastic album this is!!! Cornwall and Devon are place where I have never been but thanks to your pictures I can imagine a little bit of how beautiful it is! My favorite picture in this album is &quot;Whitesand Bay,Cornwall&quot;. This is what I imagine thinking of the rough coastline of Cornwall.... FANTASTIC!!!! Greetings from a cold and wet Holland. Diana.

said dianawiersma1 2004.11.21 at 07:00:45 PST

I richly enjoyed looking at your latest photos, especially the ones of the rivers and the sea. Keep clicking! From Don. Thanks for sharing!

said donalddavisuk 2004.10.06 at 09:07:25 PDT

Great Album! I love your pictures, and the southwest areas in particular. If you enjoy wild life and unspoilt nature drop by in my Patagonia. Nothing much as shots, I only had a little old automatic. Thank you for sharing your work. I will come back to your albums.Maria Elena, Argentina

said mariaelena136 2004.09.26 at 08:08:21 PDT

I enjoyed looking at your latest photos. I especially like the ones of the west coast since that is my favourite holiday haunt! The few of Boscastle are particularly poignant. I was there in July, just before the floods. I don't think it will ever look the same again. Lovely photos. Thanks for sharing!

said barblanger 2004.09.07 at 16:18:07 PDT

Hi Rod!! A fantastically beautiful album. If you are just as proud on them as I like them, you are VERY proud of them. Great shots! And of course thank you for dropping by in my Summer Carnival album in Rotterdam!! It was so much fun! Exciting loud salsa music,great drums, great colours. My Nikon was a bit too slow for my liking when people were dancing and not just standing, so I took my faithfull powershot s30. Afterwards I still did some serious cropping... I am amazed the quality remained still OK.. Surprising is not it? Greetings Anna Oldenhave

said annaoldenhave 2004.08.30 at 02:37:43 PDT

Bonjour Rod,you're definitely not loosing your touch!!Everyone of these shots is a little gem but Portreath,Cornwall is one fantastic composition if i ever saw one.Thanks for your kind words,looking forward to your additions.It was nice to hear from you my friend!Luc

said kligon 2004.08.29 at 16:00:56 PDT

Each picture is a topper! Good photographer and good camera together and you get this result. And ofcourse the nature is splendid there! Best regards, Mieke

said miekesphotos2 2004.08.28 at 12:24:26 PDT

I'm amazed at pictures, truly amazed. I've been viewing them all day today (Saturday 28th. August)sharing it with the Olympics, now awaiting Kelly Holmes on the track. I did not realize Torquay was such a beautiful place? Your arrangement of pictures is like a 'Tour', well it's a 'Tour-Guide' and Narration is just Perfect. I feel as if I'm there, I feel as if I know the place. What camera did you use? Were you high up taking these the pictures, they seem to be taken from high up. Great Pictures, I love them keep them coming! From Walthamstow, London, Kindest regards, Claude.

said moseley1939 2004.08.28 at 10:24:09 PDT

Thanks for your comments on my selections for the photo show, Rod. I value your opinion because you take such wonderful photos yourself. Well, today is the day! I'm excited and nervous too. And huge surprise: my grown granddaughter flew in from Spokane, Washington so will serendipitously be here for the show about which she knew nothing. chargerfree@mindspring.co m

Hi Rod, great pictures. They make me want to visit England soon. Thanks for sharing. Rich

said richanderson 2004.08.27 at 22:21:34 PDT

Some of my ancestors were from this general region, and I truly enjoy seeing photos of this gorgeous area. I was so sorry about the tragedy at Boscastle. One of my favorites in this album is the rural farm in Devon. THAT is the life! Charlotte in Texas

said barnchaser 2004.08.27 at 08:19:22 PDT

Wow Rod! Great shots from the West, picture #2 is my favorite but the entire album is wonderful, hope you add more soon. Thanks! Michel
