Rich Old Goats
Have you noticed? Tour around your average National Trust property and it soon becomes obvious that previous generations seem to have been fortunate and very well heeled. It seems nobody lived in poky little houses. They didn't have to look at wood chip wallpaper and sit on cheap MFI furniture. They had beautiful oak panel walls and real leather seats in their well stocked library. Outside the house would sit in many acres of land, and sometimes many thousands of acres. All in all the people we chose to commemorate appear to have been wealthy, while the poor and the merely average have passed silently into history unremarked and unremembered.
Really like the picture of the green oasis, the island, as though shot from an aircraft, very delicate nuances in tone and colour.
