A barn(?) and a phonebox

fishyfisharcadeLeave a comment

I think this building is a barn, but my understanding of farm architecture is limited. It stands in the small village of Eaton, right beside the main road through the settlement. A phone box stands in front of it, although it’s now been converted into a mini-library. I missed the focus on the phone box shot slightly (the point of focus ended up on the planet just behind it – I love the photos I can achieve with the GW690, but it’s rangefinder patch is not the easiest to see), which I’m a bit miffed about.

Bridge across the Idle

This brick-built bridge crosses the River Idle to the west of the village of Eaton in Nottinghamshire. It’s quite a pleasant scene and there is a bench in the spot upon which a couple were sat before I took my photo. It would be a nice place to sit with a book.

Approaching sheep

I had to work fast to get the sheep in shot before they became obscured by the gate. As soon as they saw me they began to bleat and make an approach. Perhaps I look like a farmer. Or maybe they’re used to passersby giving them treats. I had no sheep snacks upon me, alas.
