A View from Old Winchester Hill

Wonderful vista Keith.

Thank you Jaap..........appreciated.

Nice view and PiP too!
What is New Winchester Hill like, Keith and do we get to see a shot of it sometime? ;o)

Thank you Andy.....glad you like the photos.

There isn't a New Winchester Hill - as I suspect you know - but we don't need one. This one has everything we need. It is a 66.2-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade I, and a national nature reserve.

:-))

Gosh, you have me sussed, Keith!

A gorgeous view Keith. Today you would have had a blue sky! With the high temperatures, the grass will soon be turning straw colour, but it's looking good for my fig tree :-)

A beautiful Hampshire view. Have a good new week.

Thank you Rosa.........and yes, you're right about the blue skies. We only popped out to one of our local garden centres today to buy some new bird feeders (and have coffee and cake), but that was enough for us..............it's far too hot, so we're sticking to the house and the shady bit of the garden :-))

Have a good week yourself.

Same here Keith! I also bought 2 new bird feeders last week :-)

I somehow missed your PiP on my first visit! It's beautiful and even then the animals were very sensibly in the shade of that gorgeous tree!!

A reply to the earlier weather-related part of this thread, Keith and Rosa!
Temp. tonight no lower than 29ºc but humid as well, which is the part of the equation no-one can stand!
So I won't sleep and might as well use the time to do some housework on my ipernity pages, if you see what I mean. The only problem with that is trying to stop the sweat from cascading into the keyboard!
I'm typing this only in a pair of boxers and a cold wet towell draped round my neck! I would post a selfie of me for my next upload but I think there might be rules against that sort of thing!
A sweaty goodnight from me!

Andy hahaha I see you...
my son also wrote to me a few days ago in Perugia and Foligno (Umbria) the temperature during the day was 42.5°.

Oh dear Andy! I do feel for you. Last night I took a hot water bottle to bed with me, that had been in the freezer all day. It was very cooling, just to rest my wrist on! BTW, I don't think there is a rule against it Andy ;o))

Rural England at its best Keith. As Rosa says, this will be turning colour as I type with todays high temperatures. Well done.

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Thank you Herb.............it's a lovely area and only half an hour drive from where we live. It's a bit to hot for us lately, so we'll be staying indoors or in the shady bit of the garden mostly.

A wonderful wide view, Keith !

Thank you Ulrich.

Wonderful capture. I’m not good with landscape. I like to look but I haven’t quite got the art of photographing what I see

Thank you Jan, I'm pleased you like them. You should have a go.........you'll find you're much better than you think :-)

Like the curly imprint in the closer field

Me too............thanks again.

The green is so lush that I don't miss the sunshine at all. The patterns and different shades of green are wonderful.

I'm glad you think so Gudrun................and thanks for your kind comments.

green hills, so beautiful

Thank you so much Annemarie.

wonderful image

Happy new week:)

Thanks again..........have a good week yourself.

A beautiful and very English landscape Keith, I like the shades and colours of the fields plus the tree lines, have a great week and keep cool if possible.

Thank you kind sir................much appreciated.

I hope you're managing to keep cool...............it's sweltering here in the south, so we're not getting out much.

Struiken en bomen vormen een mooi lijnenspel

Thank you kind sir............very much appreciated.

very beautiful the different shades of green

Thank you very much aNNa.

Lovely green countryside!

Thank you Eunice.

Ich mag die sanften Hügel und die Palette unterschiedlicher Grüntöne. Auch ohne Sonnenschein eine schöne Aufnahme, Keith!

Thank you very much Wilhelm..........glad you like it.

Das sind ja sehr schöne Aufnahmen von dieser tollen Landschaft,besonders schön ist dein Pip mit diesen Baum als Blickpunkt,den auch die Schafe als Schutz gerne nutzen :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
