Stay home, Share 3 travel photos challenge. Many of you will know I mainly write travel posts, and when I do I always tend to go over board with my photos. This challenge is great, as it will really challenge me to choose three of my favourite photos and to focus a bit more on the rest of the content. Let's see how I manage.A few days ago, I saw @psos started a
I was going through the photos on my computer, and saw that exactly eight years ago today, I went on a walk at Compton in Surrey UK. Compton is a quaint village with around 1000 population and is about 45 minutes away from London by train. It is surrounded by a lot of woodland making it a lovely area for walks.
One of Compton's most well known resident was George Frederic Watts a British painter and sculpture from the late 19th century. After he died, his wife, who was a designed and painter herself, designed the Watt Cemetry Chapel. The chapel is described "as one of the most original and fascinating buildings in Britain, a fusion of art nouveau, Celtic, Romanesque and individual style." (https://www.wattsgallery.org.uk) If you think the outside looks remarkable, the inside is even more unique with a mix of terracotta relief carving and paintings in an art nouveau style and Celtic influences.
Because of Watts, Compton is also known as the Artist Village and would be a great day out for art lovers who can complete their walk around the village with a visit to the Watts Gallery. I hope you enjoyed the quick trip to Compton in UK.
Wow! This challenge wasn't easy. Choosing three photos was a lot more difficult than I imagined π
