  Hi Fergus,

  I love the colours and as a result I think the mono image looks a little out of place and
  maybe should have been in a different thread.

  As for the colour images I find them lovely to look at even though my little laptop screen can’t show all
  of the portrait orientated images.
  I think it’s the attractive muted colours on the walls.

  I might be being picky but I find it a little distracting when a vertical near to the side of a photograph is not
  straight as, for example, in the LHS of #5.
  It’s only an opinion and as I said I may be being too picky.

  All that said it a really nice selection of images of what looks like a lovely place to be.

  Thanks for sharing.

  John.

  John,

  Thanks for the comments. Trying to give a flavour of the place in my photos. It is a lovely spot.

  As regards the wall on the left of #5 it is actually a tad more crooked than this in real life. That’s the trouble with shooting in old towns. Not everything is as vertical as it once was. I straightened it a bit as it really did look out of shape but I didn’t want to get rid of the lean altogether.
