Post a CommentI agree with Patricia.
Great pics. Too bad they ruined the "oldness" of that house with modern garages.
Lovely stone structures!
Such beautiful photos... :o)
Very interesting photos.
Very neat. I especially like the stone house with the blue door.
so beautiful
Yes I am going to look at creating a coffee table book. Thanks for the idea Michele. It might be a good way to make some money.
I think they are most likely real Ammonites. The coast around here is called The Jurassic Coast, because there are so many fossils. It was only about 50 miles away in Lyme Regis that the first dinosaur bones were found, back in Victorian times, sparking off the hunt for fossils of these long extinct creatures.
Are those real Ammonite or reproductions? I guess it would depend on how old the houses are. That is truly amazing! You and Mike Oberg need to make coffee table books--seriously!
