Happy New Year, may you all have a prosperous and productive 2025! I've chosen another #SonyP200 photo for today. I did love this solid little silver metal brick of a camera with its slightly larger CCD sensor (for a point & shoot). Colours were about the best digital colours I've had! So far my film photos of this bend in the Grand Union Canal haven't come close.

That half-timbered cottage again. I like that so much about this rustic building style is visible here. The thatch of course; the timbers which are the structural elements, the white panels (originally wattle and daub), the stolen stones from the Abbey, the brick panels every which way, and the tiny window!

@russellt You may technically be right, but you can't actually walk up it (have to scramble the last bit, unless you're way fitter than I am... which is of course very possible!), so fits my definition of a mountain. A small one, to be sure! :-)
