[jules' pics] j&J's' International Tour of parts of the West of England #4
Hmmm...The view from the ancestral home and Kirkby Lonsdale's famous Ruskin's View (admired by Ruskin but painted by Turner).

Nice pic Jules. Looking at the view from that path with the mark-one eyeball naturally draws the observer's attention to the farmer's [very] pink-painted barn (a reaction to a planning decision...bless!). Your lens doesn't lie, but it does reduce the visual impact of the structure in order to reveal what Ruskin was so expansive about.
P.Lewis: As anonymous said, it is a reaction to a planning decision. The barn is great; painted like a liquorice allsort. You are fortunate that you can afford to prefer Dentdale. So much of England is so ugly by comparison that to me it seems a bit churlish to be so particular.

I think you might find that that pink building is the end of a rusting Dutch barn.
Nice view. It's all nice (almost) up that way, to be sure. But I prefer the view on the other side of the hill, in Dentdale. :-)

Sun actually shining in England?
Must be due to climate change...
