Most of these photos are beautiful! However I won't say the road in #3 is narrow - I've seen Ukrainian trolleys going along the very alike street in Chernivtsi... yes, with sidewalks and parked cars. ![Smiley](https://cdn.smfboards.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Thanks for keeping me in mind John, I so love to see these up close and personal photos of the beautiful English countryside and the small, quaint towns. Some of those country roads do look rather narrow as I would image they are all two-way traffic, just watch where you are going! Everytime I see photos of foreign (to me) roads, I wonder If I could ever drive on them without forgetting where I am and what side of the road I'm suppose to be on. Very confusing. I guess driving on the wrong (right) side of the car would constantly give me a clue, lol. Your last photo looks like Interstate 5 (freeway) over near Grants Pass, that's the nearest 4 lane highway to me, 125 miles away! Thanks for the photos John.

Bit of a novelly photo post but glad you liked them
You must post a couple like this Roman so we can see your trams etc.
Richard...It was also to give you a peek at this old country we live in,views you wouldn't normally see but sometimes you'll see the same when Martin puts up a storm chase video as it's similar where he lives out in the rural areas. I've promised my wife I'll drive next itme,she really didn't like this roads.. I haven't been back to Somerset yet Richard but will keep i mind where some of your family originated from and get some shots.
If you ever want a short break,Mark,it's a great place to go-loads of photo ops. and fantastic coastal scenery.

Even though I know what the UK roads are like I still think these images are very nice and capture the essence of the country roads very well indeed, images 1, 4,5,6,7 and 8 show very well why storm chasing is very difficult in UK and Ireland with narrow roads, telegraph poles and hills/tress blocking the horizon. However at the same time the trees are great and present a different visual mood with the waxing of the seasons, thanks for sharing these John ![Smiley](https://cdn.smfboards.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
