My wife Liz and I were walking round the village of Elterwater in the Lake District, looking for a coffee shop to visit to get out of the rain, when I saw this fantastic composition.
I don't know why, but I've always been attracted to the combination of plants and buildings, and the vibrant autumn red of this climber set against the grey stone walls really caught my eye.
I was so intent on getting the framing right on this shot that I didn't notice that I was being watched from the window. I don't know what this gentleman thought I was doing, but he adds a bit of mystery to an otherwise very pleasant image.
You can see one of my favourite plant against building photographs on Charle Waite's website. Well worth a visit.
