Art students out there will recognise this as the scene from Constable's 'The Haywain'. I am fortunate in living less than 1 hours drive from where this was painted (Flatford Mill) and it remains similar to when Constable did his famous painting.. I have done little with this picture other than 'auto enhance' on photoshop elements. Hope you enjoy - feel free to compare to Constable's painting.. :-)

It was known as "Willy Lott's Cottage", and it's nice to see it virtually as it was in the day, great shot :thumbup: :thumbup:

Yes, apparently it has hardly changed, Constable did exercise a bit of artistic licence and altered the size of the cottage to fit the painting and the actual hay cart was an addition. Where I stood to take the picture is more or less where Constable stood to paint his picture..

Yes "Willy Lott's Cottage" this shot is identical to one I took 35 years maybe more ago even down to the reeds. While staying with a friend in Leiston I toured many places, to numerous to mention here. If only I could roll back time, must go to the area again..thanks for sharing brought back many memorys..:-)
