That's probably why I love it, Peter.  And that's what's so great about this website for us foreigners.  It's not a glossy travel brochure with just pictures of Big Ben and Stonehenge.  For those of us who will never have the privelege living in England and seeing the "other than tourist sites," it's great to see pictures of the real England thru the eyes of you who live there, and who know about all the gems that tourists don't see.  When we finally got to go over there, I knew I wanted to go off the beaten tourist path because I'd seen so much more on POE.  I can't wait to come back!

Just for info, Yorkshire being such a big county it was seperated up into 'three' areas for administration reason, These were the North, East and West Ridings.  'Riding' is derived from the Viking word for 'one third'.

Hi Roy: Thanks for the info.  And then came along South Yorkshire and messed up the rule of thirds.  lol

I love that shot too - but I am confused POE - it was submitted by Bruslaw - Bruce who did his user intro recently - but it says picture by Slawek Staszczuk on the bottom - what is that all about? It there some mistake? Will e-mail Ron
