Lee Common Cottage

Having spent too many days exploring and photographing London, I decided to get out into the Countryside and do a few rural landscapes. I chose to shoot in Buckinghamshire.

The late afternoon spring sunshine washes across the slopes suurounding this tiny, ancient, still occupied cottage is in a hamlet called Lee Common. It has no road leading up to it, no driveway and nowhere to keep a car. I must surely be one of the last houses in the UK to sit as it does in the middle of beautiful parkland, surrounded by grazing sheep.

If you like this image, it was shot just yards from here:

Canon 10D
1/80th sec at f 8.0
Sigma 15-30mm lens at 30mm
ISO 100

Slight adjustments in Lightroom and yes, the grass really IS that colour!
