Some views of the Downs


This may make someone homesick and I hope he remembers the place. The Downs is outside the village I live I call them the Berkshire Downs even though this part is now in South Oxfordshire. On the 1st I went out to get some photos of the downs in the next village along.

Part of the lower downs near Aston Tyrrold

They had been cutting the crops and the trailer is full of straw bales 

The downs I know are on the far side of the wood you see here which are called the plantation

The path here goes back towards Aston Tyrrold

Last one looking towards Kingstanding Hill most likely called that because a King Æthelred camped there the night before beating the Vikings in the Battle of Ashdown  

Happy SkyWatch

  7. You enjoy elbow room, beautiful landscapes and skies that last forever blue or cloudy or colorful. You are blessed with a heart, a photographer's eye, and the beauty all around you. Enjoy!
