A new view of an old subject


Sometimes its hard to see the possibilities in a photographic subject and it pays to return to it at different time of day, in a different season, or in different weather. Or you can search for a different point of view. I did that recently with Webbe's Almshouses in Ross on Wye. These old buildings are opposite an interesting set of curved steps that lead to the graveyard of St Mary's church, and I've combined them before in this shot.  I felt sure I could combine them in a different way and, as we passed by recently I took out my iPhone and came up with this photograph. It adds a third element - a Georgian doorway on an adjacent building.
