Description
As long as I can remember, I had always dreamed of visiting the English countryside. I'm pretty sure this obsession grew out of my love at the time for "The Avengers", a popular English TV show of the sixties starring Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg. A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to go to England for the first time. Needless to say, I fell in love with the Cotswolds area. This image was taken not far from where Stonehenge stands. It was a perfect day to be sightseeing the English countryside. The sun was bright and beaming, the clouds were gently drifting by above, and a few cows chose to slowly graze in the rich, lush grass that seemed to stretch forever in the pastures. It was a magical afternoon, and one I shall never forget. This capture represents an homage to that day...the day when my dreams of seeing the English countryside became fulfilled.
The Cotswolds is a region in central-southwest England, along a range of rolling hills that rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1966, the Cotswolds covers 787 square miles making it the largest AONB. It is the third largest protected landscape in England after the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales national parks. Its boundaries are roughly 25 miles (40 km) across and 90 miles long, stretching southwest from just south of Stratford-upon-Avon to just south of Bath near Radstock. It lies across the boundaries of several English counties; mainly Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, and parts of Wiltshire, Somerset, Worcestershire, and Warwickshire. The highest point of the region is Cleeve Hill at 1,083 ft just east of Cheltenham.
