The Herefordshire town of Ross on Wye has a late seventeenth century market house. It is made of red sandstone columns and arches that are open to the public and a stone and timber room above (now a gallery selling the work of local artists and craftspeople). It was originally designed to offer a covered space for market stalls, something it still does to this day. On non-market days it is a place to sit, shelter from the rain (or intense sun!), and generally watch the world go by. As I was doing just that the other day someone was using it as a vantage point for a phone call and I took this shot of the scene. I've converted it to a black and white image because the strong blue fascia of the Boots store was overpowering the composition and weakening the strong silhouettes.
