Sturminster Newton High Street.

These beautiful house facades convey a very sympathetic cityscape...

Thank you for your kind comments Udo.

It' s a wonderful city shot and a fine impression of this region.

Thank you very much for your kind comments Percy.

Lovely sunny streetscape.

Thank you very much Jaap.

I love the perspective, Rosa. You have taken the photograph from a very effective angle. The variety of styles of the buildings is quite amazing. Cheers, Joe

Thank you very much Joe. I would think each building is from a different century! The old Lloyd's Bank building is now a very interesting Emporium. I wish I had more time to look around it...but I will be back! Cheers, Rosa.

Me gusten las dos fotografías por su calidad, con mención especial al edificio del café que te ha quedado elegante con buena luz, color y nitidez. Aparte, de lo que veo, me gustan las casas que conservan el tradicional estilo inglés, más cálido que las construcciones modernas funcionales y con varias alturas. Buen jueves, Rosa.

Thank you very much Jose Manuel. As I mentioned to Joe, I think each building is from a different century! As you walk further down the street the buildings become very much older with thatched roofs and there is remains of a very early market cross.
Happy Thursday.

magnifiques façades

Thank you very much Annick.
Happy Thursday.

Superbes images de ce joli village !
Bonne journée. Amitiés

Thank you very much Madeleine.

...und die Queen ist auch dabei :-)) ****

Yes she was everywhere recently Lothar ;-))

SUBLIME et ce magnifique angle de tir pour la première capture.
Je vous souhaite une bonne et agréable journée.

Thank you very much Malik.
Best wishes & good afternoon.

Da zeigst du wunderschöne Ansichten von diesen Ort liebe Rosa,sehr schön gefallen mir die Fassaden dieser Häuser und die Ansicht auf das weiße Gebäude ist ja richtig schön:))

Wünsche Dir noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you Gunter. I am pleased that you like the buildings.

Best wishes & good afternoon, Rosa.

Nice view of the main street of this charming town! (It's still so very different from France).
(I really like the portrait of the Queen covering a window of the white building!!!)
Good afternoon*****

"Vive la différence" Nouchet! As you know, I love your old towns and châteaux. Ipernity is a great way to see them. The cafe did well with their decorations (the white building) A shame it wasn't open on Monday. I thank you always for your lovely comments.

Good afternoon and happy Thursday.

So many things to observe in this street/corner so agreable !
Buildings with the Flag and the Queen!
Patriotism and Homage, beautiful to see, Rosalyn

Thank you very much Judite. We had a lovely four days of fun and celebrations.
Have a good day :-)

This is a quintessentially English country village scene Rosa.............a lovely mix of architectural styles (which most commenters have noticed), with quite a few independent traders and no huge shopping malls. I can't see a pub, but I bet there's one nearby. I like the flags and bunting too. Beautifully composed and taken.

The café/restaurant looks very attractive in the sunshine..........again I like the flags and bunting and the patriotic image of the Queen placed front and centre. Such a shame it was closed, but I see you managed to get your coffee and cake fix elsewhere :-))

Thank you Keith. Yes the styles are very different but do seem to fit together well. Many of the independent traders have been there for years but I am pleased to say they have a couple of new ones, and a well established camera shop.

The coffee in the bakery/cafe we chose was very good and the lemon drizzle cake went down a treat ;-))

PS. I forgot to say that there are two pubs, but in the 1960's there were at least two more. One was The Railway Inn, which has now been demolished.

A decent camera shop is a rare thing nowadays.

Mmmm.......Lemon Drizzle cake :-)

Une ville bien jolie mon amie ****************bisous ma Rosa et bonne soirée

Thank you so much dear Angelique.
Kisses and good evening :-))

A lovely traditional 'High Street' hopefully the lack of people was your choice the shops all appear to be trading. The forecast thunder storms didn't arrive just a few spots of rain, at least with the cloud cover it didn't feel as hot, have a pleasant Friday Rosalyn Good night

Thank you Peter. There was a market in the morning, so everyone had gone home.
Have a good weekend.

Sounds like Spain! Many shops, cafés and restaurants, as well as museums, close on Mondays. I rememebr this was the case in France years ago too! Sometimes very frustrating!
An attractive place and all the better for not being TOO chocolate-boxy!

I can be really annoying Andy. I would never go to Frome on a Monday again.
Sturminster is a real working town that apart from the mill, which is within walking distance of the town, it doesn't get too many tourists.
Have a nice weekend.

Ha Ha, Rosa! I think you mean 'It can be really annoying ...'!!!

Haha, oh yes....although :o)

;o)))

HFF-Rosa

Thank you Fred.

I love this shot, Rosa. so interesting seeing all those colorful buildings.. you composed this really well, love the little bundle of flowers there in the center at that chalkboard.! wish I had the time to comment on all your shots, Rosa. :(( life is different here at the time for me....My husband has a long way to go with his speech it seems to me and our two sons and families....but we are hangin" in, with lots of prayers... a speech therapist is now coming twice a week !! HFF and enjoy your weekend. Best of wishes, Sarah

Thank you so much dear Sarah. I know how difficult it is for your. My neighbour had the same after her husband had a stroke. I hope all goes well and your husband gets better, slowly but surely.
All the best, Rosa.

I like it, from de sky downwards everything is sweet and made for our size.
One kind of man made world we would like to keep balanced forever . . .
Ingenuity !

Thank you for your great comments Jose.
It would be nice to keep balanced.
Best wishes & good weekend.

A very nice street.view !

Thank you very much Ulrich.

Très belles photos . Bon week-end. Nicole .
