    Like a lot of things, its history is complicated, and I suspect it was ornamental more than a house for bees. The Bee shelter has been moved a couple of times from its original position in Nailsworth.

    It is actually near Hartpury Mill, as Google Maps tells me that Hartpury is pretty vast. We saw a ancient monument road sign and had time to kill, so it was an accidental discovery.

    I cannot imagine myself having the patience to do this sort of photography. M32 with a 400 lens really shines for this sort of thing.

    There is a stone wicker basket. But I think this was more ornamental than anything.

    Sounds good, I'll have to try it. Where can I buy an m32 camera? 😆

    Nice idea, to find a spot where the railway seems to spout out from the high rises.

    I rather like the second, a peek into a hidden world.

    Cool. They really look like military helicopters.

    As usual, interesting shots. They become a series when you read your title.
    I wonder what the "puddle shot" would look like if the person were to look down into the puddle, as if she could see her own reflection ?

    In the other "Wednesday C&C" thread I said I might prefer a version of this shot where some of the right hand side was cropped off, seeing it again, I think I now prefer your original :-)

    The first here is nicely framed and the second here shows some good flowing motion with your chosen Shutter speed.

    We've also had some of that prolonged rain followed by high water, here in Austria too.
    Noticed it again last week in the little streams that we saw in the walk down from Schneeberg. There were 3 places where a tiny, usually dried up, stream sometimes trickles over and crosses a "road". This time there were were big diggers trying to rebuild the road after it had been almost washed away with wild torrents from that little stream. They were in fact making a wall out of big bolders on the lower side so that it will be more protected next time.

    We are living in the time of climate change and the promised bad effects are already here!
    It's not surprising, when you consider that for every increase of 1 degree C, the air can hold 7% more moisture, and all that extra water can come down as heavy rain. Especially bad when, by chance, it all happens to come down concentrated on some unfortuante local area :-(

    It needs to be seen full screen to appreciate it fully.

    What a view!

    I can't get my head around the signs I am afraid.

    I have no clue what they do there. It is not a shop, office or business place. There are rudimentary equipments for cooking and a fridge ( I don't think that it is for beer!) I guess some pensioners wanted to have a place for themselves.

    Plenty of lines. A nice composition. I wonder how it will look in the winter with plenty of snow.
