Peter's family came from Swanage so on the last morning we went in search of some places he remembered as a child. He had spent many holidays here and this pond is where his Grandfather painted a lovely watercolour. We have the picture now hanging up at home so he was keen to see how much had changed. The willow tree wasn't there at all but the houses are still pretty much as they were then. The steps to the left of the willow tree which are hardly visible here were much more a feature of the original painting.
Such a wonderful spot , beautifully captured , I love the colour palette , light and reflection , and what a gorgeous vista for Peter's grandad to have painted his watercolour -- big fav
Lovely cosy scene
