I live in the small village of Acton Turville in Gloucestershire, which is 1 mile south of Badminton, famous for the annual Badminton Horse Trials, the Beaufort Hunt, and the "invention" of the game of Badminton. It was also the village where I was brought up, my playground being it's woodlands, fields, park and farms. It is therefore perhaps no surprise that many of the photos in my gallery are rural related. Most will not be the stunning scenic, sunsets etc like those taken by many of Panoramio photographers, but more of the simple documentary type photos of village streets, houses, shops etc, and life in the surrounding countryside. Where known, I have added information under the photos. With villages ever expanding, and life within them changing in so many ways, recording those simple scenes for future generations that may live, or visit those villages, I hope will be of historical interest. Footnote - All photos pre-2008 are scanned from either transparencies or negatives, plus some I took in the 1960/70's with cheap basic cameras, so please excuse the poor quality of some.

Ray Bird's conversations

Hello Ana Maria
Panoramio is closing and what Google Maps offers us does not incorporate almost nothing of our demands, forcing us to "migrate" to other sites.
Let me therefore take this opportunity to greet all the friends met in this beautiful site, thanking them for the great pictures shared and for the kind comments, with the hope to meet again somewhere else on the web.
With best wishes, Paolo
My last post on Panoramio

Dear Friend ANNA M, Beautiful View, Excellent Shot,
LIKE+FAVORITE,
Best Wishes From India,Kamalakar.
Thanks to all for your support . I was Shocked, disappointed a lot with Google decision on PANORAMIO ,Very very sad any how this is the time to say goodbye but Very hard to say Goodbye.....Time is running OUT...

Saudade...

É uma palavra portuguesa que expressa um sentimento, que expressa um estado de alma...

Há quem diga que foi inventada durante o tempo dos descobrimentos, pois era o que as famílias dos marinheiros sentiam quando eles partiam à descoberta dos novos mundos e ficavam anos e anos sem terem notícias suas!

E na verdade, ao longo de todos estes anos, nós aqui no Panoramio, começamos a sentir-nos como uma verdadeira família.

Infelizmente chegou a hora de vos dizer adeus, meus queridos amigos... :-(

Não me quero ir embora sem, pela última vez, vos dar mais um F & L e endereçar-vos desde aqui, da cidade do Porto em Portugal, um grande abraço já cheio de saudades,

Mário Eloi Castro

É uma visão espetacular da cidade, parabéns pelo precioso registro. F247 Saudações e tenha uma excelente semana. Infelizmente o Panoramio está fechando e vai acabar a interação que eu mantinha por aqui. Criei dois grupos no Facebook, talvez possa interessar, fique à vontade para participar e mostrando as suas fotografias: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1606484259589492/e https://www.facebook.com/groups/840587836029200/

Great pic. Viva Panoramio !

Veľmi pekne ďakujem za všetok strávený čas pozeraním mojich fotiek, daním hodnotenia ako aj pozretia mojich článkov alebo videií. Veľmi si vážim toho, že mi panoramio pomohlo spoznať krásu sveta prostredníctvom úžasných ľudí a ich pohľadov na svet. Pre nedostatok času ohodnotím aspoň 1 fotografiu z galérie Like + Favourite a keď mi zvýši ešte čas - po rozlúčení sa so všetkými priateľmi panoramia, tak sa vrátim pozrieť ďalšie fotky. Bolo by mi však ľúto, keby pre nedostatok času, nikto nevidel moje úsilie z päťdesiatich letných výletov - preto tu je výber toto najlepšieho z leta 2016.

S priateľským pozdravom zo Slovenska, Filip Jurovatý
