A very typical rural scene, including the drystone wall.

A beautiful photograph, you have captured a typical English rural scene perfectly.
Hartlepool is spelt without a "Y" and comes from the old English name of Hart le Pool.
Hart is another name for a deer, so this is where the Deer came to drink.

Thanks for the comment. Sorry about the "Y" a slip of the keyboard. They are also referred to as the "Monkey Hangers"

Great perspective.

This is only my personal opinion. It is a very well composed photograph and a very beautiful one also. You have an excellent eye.
That stone fence on the right is acting as a distraction. I find my eye tends to go there taking away my attention from the beautiful scenery. Try to crop it and see if you agree with me.

AzPicLady Loc: Behind the camera!

I really like this scene. And I disagree about the fence. I find it an interesting part of the landscape and actually pulls me into the scene of the house. If anything is distracting to me, it's the car. But I had to do a double click to even see it.

Thanks for stopping by and your comment.
There's more to the right that was cropped off. I hate to disagree, but I kinda like the wall. If you crop the wall out then you have a green patch of grass with causes the same effect as the wall plus now you have a metal gate/fence sticking out of nowhere.

Thanks for your comment. The car slipped by. There was some telephone poles that I eliminated and didn't see the car. OOOOPs.

Thanks R.G. Hope to be in your area next year.

I think it's a very good image, but when I look at it, the large bale of hay in the foreground seems to be the subject of the image; it's tack sharp and physically larger in the image than the house which seems pretty soft. If that was your intent, you nailed it!
