Is Wye too Far East?


Need to go further northeast quite a way.  This house is a bit remote but there's a large house fairly close and a few other houses in the vicinity.  A village with a pub, a village hall, and a church within walking distance.

Pluckley area?


It has the look of Pluckley but further east. Not on a main road but easy to see on GSV

Thanks Martin - I wasn't 100% sure but it was the only cherub I could find with the head at that angle.  Interesting camera info.






Next one ...

Yes John, you have it. 

I can understand why a phone photo would be a bit small, I used a 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens at 105mm which with the crop factor of APC-C works out at 165mm.  I then further cropped the photo in GIMP.  Shutter speed was 1/200 with the on-camera flash fired.  I should have used an additional flash to bring out the 3D, but I'm afraid I was recovering from climbing the stairs (sad, I know).

I think I've found it but the image I've found is quite small on my mobile.   Guildhall Museum in Rochester - on the stairwell ceiling?

Where is this cheeky chappie?  I've a feeling this won't last too long.
