    I like the rank of four houses on your first picture; Seen from France, that's a "very american" picture Ü..And the light of your two shots is so peaceful at this moment of the day...

    James, the houses in the top photo: are all except the one on the right, really two houses in one, what I call semi-detached?

    They look very nice yet quite old.
