There's a small stretch of grass (which I was standing on to take the photo) between it and an avenue of trees which runs along beside it. Hence the greeny atmosphere.<br /><br />When I first saw this picture, I too was struck by the odd light - then realised that it is pretty accurately what the light was like on that dull end-of-the-afternoon.<br /><br />LucyLucy Corranderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743561298706555813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990121379662700939.post-73394518914571067992009-08-02T08:43:42.544+01:002009-08-02T08:43:42.544+01:00Hello Janet.

It started only a couple of days ago and is finding its feet.<br /><br />I'm wondering if you would like to contribute a very small (like about 100 words) article to it about your exhibition - with a picture if you have one?<br /><br />I'm thinking <a href="http://thethirdcolumn.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Third Column</a> will have something of a flavour of this area - its current header is of the Westbury / Weymouth notice at Frome station.<br /><br />If you'd like me to put something there, you could either email me at<br /><br />picturesjustpictures@googlemail.com<br /><br />or, better still, directly to<br /><br />thethirdcolumn@googlemail.com<br /><br />Lucy<br /><br />P.S. Because it started only a few days ago, its readership is currently low - don't expect an influx of visitors as a result . . . but everything has to start somewhere and there have already been readers arriving because of Skywatch.Lucy Corranderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743561298706555813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990121379662700939.post-67568498942146788422009-08-01T09:40:07.812+01:002009-08-01T09:40:07.812+01:00Thanks Lucy.
