A view from our rented Gîte in Normandy across the garden, taken in the golden hour. Certainly a subject for a painting! The white blooming trees where possibly apple.

See PiP for Misty Morning View

Thanks John. This was a great view in the early morning too with shafts of mist coming through the big branches. At 8am the sun was directly behind the the large tree here.

Best Wishes, Herb

That is what I loved about this view. Almost like Tuscany with this kind of soft light. Glad you like it.

Deeply charmed by such impressive and pictorial vision and composition in splendidly soft golden light.

Thank you so much Beatrice, your words here 'Honour Me'. Very happy that you like both these pictures so much. Maybe one day I shall try to paint this with my very limited water-colour skills.

Both shots are stunning Herb.................it's amazing the difference a few hours and a change of light makes..!!

I much prefer this one of the two..............the golden light is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks a lot Keith. As we sat eating our meals looking out upon this view which changes so much with the sun, we thought, yes, we could live with this!

I have now made the PiP slightly darker as it looked a bit too bright on here. I do like them both but like you, prefer the golden one better. Cheers, Herb
