A view from the cottage
During the recent Covid19 lockdown, with time on my hands and to try and keep sane I took the opportunity to take my camera out and about with me during exercise walks around the cottage where I live in the wonderful Chiltern Hills. The pictures vary from scenic views, sunsets, the splendid Red Kites that now once again grace the area, other birds, visiting animals and some arty views and angles to take in texture, foliage and clouds etc.
Most of these will have appeared on my twitter feed @grahammuz with the hashtag #viewfromthecottage
No trains but I hope you enjoy nevertheless. Please respect my copyright of these images, but feel free to contact me first should you want to use them anywhere!
