The Fort St George in England by judithg

The Fort St George in England

First of all huge thanks for all the lovely comments and Faves on 'Wet Weekend' - that shot appeared by some sort of osmosis from various other unsuccessful attempts so it was lovely and a complete surprise to make PP with it.
The Fort St George (as it's usually abbreviated) is named for its resemblance to the East India Company's Fort St George in Chennai (Madras as was). Can't see much resemblance myself! It's the oldest pub on the river with parts dating back to the 16th century. I zipped three photos together for this pic taken from the adjacent footbridge which is a very well worn route for Monty and myself - as we were going home Monty had his feet firmly planted and was refusing to move so I stopped to take a few photos. This is the back - it's prettier from the front but you miss out on the river and as the trees are in leaf it's hard to get a good shot.
I love this!

I can't see the join !! Very clever photo & I love the river & boats, it's just a perfect place for a pub ! Looks like it has some wooden cladding too on part of it. Very pretty Judith !

Beautiful. I can just imagine being there - on the boat preferably.

Very beautiful! The panorama crop and old-ish editing fit very well!

Beautiful shot! Your right the water really adds a lot to the shot.

What a great view to have while walking Monty, you are very lucky! Great shot, I even enlarged it and still can't see the join!

Where did you take this pic from ( the Bridge? ) the angle is great and you have captured the feel of this lovely pub. Many a time I would pop in for a drink with family and friends and the food use to be great .

oops just read your explanation - and it just dawned on my that you took it from behind. You did right as you managed to get the river in.

Lovely shot, looks very much like our Erie Canal in New York State. Did you use photomerge again?
June 13th, 2011  
Perhaps Monty fancied a pint or two in his refusing to budge, i do so hope you treated him...

such a wonderful shot, I presumed you used a wide angle lense. I agree with above, Monty was probably hinting for a drink.

wonderful shot! the processing is perfect for it!

Beautiful - really draws you in!

Great shot, really clever - are you going to watch the bumps at all?
June 14th, 2011  
Oooh, lovely lovely lovely! Super lovely hues and tones! Great stuff!

@bpaquette Yes - photomerge again - it's very clever - it uses segments of each photo rather than just overlaping them and also adjusts the exposure.

@emb151 Hoping to head Ploughwards on Saterday - St John's has a field open for members if they let dogs in!

Beautiful view and I love how you joined the pictures!
