Old house in Shropshire, England

Photo courtesy of Mike Wade.          (Click the photo to enlarge) The United Kingdom is a land with a long and storied history as well as plenty of magnificent scenery and timeless European architecture. Today's picture by photographer Mike Wade features a lovely old house located on an estate in the rural and sparsely populated English county of Shropshire. Mr. Wade did an excellent job at capturing the beauty of the estate, making it look quite inviting indeed. Simply beautiful!     Visitor Comments... Name: Enrique Melendez Town: Miami, FL Great photo. Love the composition.     Name: Lester Parks Town: Cincinnati, OH This is a very beautiful scene Mr. Wade, and you did a wonderful job with the exposure and composition. And the reflection is very nice too.     Name: Phyllis Helton Town: Bristol, VA This would make another astoundingly beautiful puzzle.     Name: Winston "Rocky" Rockwell Town: Kirkland, WA Very serene... I love these old thatched houses! I've long wanted to visit the Cotswolds and the shire country to photograph these historic buildings and small villages... this only makes me want to go even more!     Name: Louise Miller Town: Helena, MT Gorgeous!   Comment on today's picture  |  View previous "Pictures Of The Day"  |  Submit a photo Why I publish the "Picture Of The Day"
