Picture This #251 ~ Housing

Hi all thanks to Belita for another great theme and thanks to Mitch for selecting my image for the header this week.

I have always enjoyed shooting architectural shots so it was quite a chore selecting just a few for the theme LOL.

Here are my choices.

Housing Louisiana Style, post Katrina!

Grand Island Gulf of Mexico Louisiana USA

Upton House Dorset England

The Old Vicarage West moors Dorset England

Hi Baz! The nice photo of the ducklings does suit this week's theme.. A very good coincidence!!! I had expected to see some very beautiful shots from you... No disappointment at all... Love them all but the 3rd and the 4th from the top are my favourites. Each one has its own style, yet both are really beautiful!

Awesome banner, Baz, you have your ducks in a row! Four wonderful houses, I didn't know the bottom one was yours until I read. What a great place to live.

Baz, I want to congratulate you on the banner again. The first image of the house in Louisiana is something familiar to where I live in Connecticut. The people on the shore had two hurricanes that devastated their homes. I believe that when they rebuild it will have to be raised as this home. I love the photos of the houses in the UK. Upton House would be an excellent setting for a BBC screenplay of an Austen novel. Your home is the loveliest. I love the shrubbery and flowers surrounding the house.

Hi Baz !! Great shots for Belita's theme. Love the Louisiana house, shame it has to be stuck on those ugly piles, but very necessary. Great shot of Upton House. Such a pity it's not open to the public, great gardens though!! The vicarage is so typically British. Your home is great, you've put so much work into it and the garden.

Awww, great shots, but there's no place like home, huh Baz?

I'd love to see the inside of Upton House.

Rules For Weekly Challenges

The rules are similar to when Picture This was on Multiply, with a few differences. As always, please post a maximum of three photos each. The Picture This page on Blogger is optimised for image size 640 x 480, so please try to post images NO LARGER than this to avoid distorting the page or overlapping onto the right-rail. Blogger has a storage limit for photos uploaded directly to the site, so please use copy/paste of HTML from storage sites such as Flickr or Photobucket as much as you can. Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not allow posting of images in comment boxes, so anyone taking part should put their photos, along with any accompanying text, in a separate post here on the PT main page, making sure the challenge number and theme are in the title line. Please note that the posts will appear in reverse order. After the host has posted the challenge, all contribution posts will appear above it on the main page, so you will have to scroll down the main page to find the host's post.

Challenge Albums & Flickr

Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not have facility for photo albums, so Picture This now has it's own associated Flickr account, where albums will be uploaded to . Once on Flickr, they will then be cross-posted to Blogger (all of this part is done by the admins, just like the albums were on Multiply). Each challenge album will appear on it's own tabbed page, along with a Flickr slideshow of the album. The cross-post only shows the first 24 images as thumbnails, to see the whole album, either watch the slideshow, or click on the little blue link between the thumbnails and the slideshow. Only the most recent three challenge albums will show on tabbed pages, to see earlier albums, you will need to go to the Picture This Flickr page. CLICK HERE TO GO TO FLICKR PAGE. Our Flickr account has tight copyright controls, so your photos are as safe as on your own Flickr page.
