I like this a lot. Really beautiful! I do like the way all the structures were built. They have a nice look that look somewhat old yet not ancient if that makes any sense. Not sure how to say what I'm thinking. Comfortable comes to mind as well. Of course the ducks and geese are cool critters as well. Is that some sort of duck or goose house out in the Mere? If so, that was quite thoughtful of someone. This is really a cool place and great to see! The photos are really well done and clear. You do good work, my friend!!!
