Jolly Olde England

Sunday Feature - Another Place, Another Time

I remember taking this picture, it was probably the early '80s.
Back then my idea of a good photo was one with no people in it.
I remember being peeved because tourists kept walking into the shot.
Tourists still irk me but now I photograph them anyway.
I've matured.

Clovelly, Devon, England

Great looking "street" in this town. This photo is likely now historic. Be fun to go back there now and re-shoot it to look at similarities and differences.

I haven't reached that level of maturity yet. But I am just a little bit more patient when it comes to waiting for the better shot to appear.

Looks good without the tacky British tourists that would have spoiled it!

I'm sure they weren't all British Chrissy. i.e., I was there.

yes, some people just don't show their best side when they get in the way of a good photo :)

We must be at peace and remember that we are all tourists.

Just booked our summer holiday. Going to Canada and the Calgary Stampede, than a few days in Banff.

Bob, Bob, Bob, the Stampede? Don't you have any pseudo cowboys closer to home? :-)

I'm not an expert on Alberta, I tend to avoid the place, but if you want any suggestions drop me a line.
