The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is Space. Since I live in a house that is cramped thanks to our being pack-rats and I don't have any decent shots of teh night sky, here's the Chase in Dagenham. It is a very pleasant, natural space near where I live.For information: a Chase is an old English word for a private, unenclosed game preserve. At some stage it must have been a hunting gfround for the owners of the nearby Bretons Manor.
That's so beautiful. Must be great having that space near by. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful take of this weeks theme Jams! It really looks calm and pleasant :)
ReplyDeleteMine is up too!
Happy weekend :)
Anna
there is a lot of breathing space here. great take on teh theme.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a good space to escape to.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, and I can relate as we are pack-rats too :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a good one Jams! Hope your weekend is going well.
ReplyDeleteHey - when I took up the digital scrapbooking a year ago, I also took up decluttering as a hobby. I read unclutterer.com every day. Often, the posts are just hooey, but sometimes I see something clever that I can relate to or use.
I have decluttered about one tenth of my house. Four tenths to go!
That is a pleasant scene, the sort I thought of for a while. I even considered the Space in our attic...
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the pack rat problem. :) That is a very nice photo of a beautiful natural space - makes me want to know where that path leads...
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
a nice pleasant space. i like this one ->WW- Detail from a Versailles Urn
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteYup, definitely a very pleasant and serene place.
ReplyDeleteGreen is good!
ReplyDeleteA very nice space --- Green is good for the eyes. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhen you solve the problem of cramped quarters, tell me.
ReplyDeleteIt means having to part with something.
Very good photo.
I wold love to have space like that near where I live so that I can go walking everyday :D
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Jams :)
Green and spacious :) Makes a good plot of land for kids!!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo jams, I did not do a photo hunt again this week because I have been doing a series "My Life" which I just finished. I wanted to tell you I used two of your photos in my final page.
ReplyDeleteVery nice -- and not the usual image of Dagenham, I'd wager! :)
ReplyDeleteI love green natural spaces. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend and thanks for visiting mine:)
It's a lovely space and looks like it would be nice to spend the day there with a camera. Why is it called a chase?
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of Robert Frost's The Road Less Travelled. I love nature treks.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a lovely space...green really looks good to us winter bound folks right now...Great take on the theme!
ReplyDeleteNice open space to free the mind
ReplyDeletewow - that's such a beautiful photo, but more so quite the definition of space.. hehe
ReplyDeleteI love wide open spaces. :) great choice for the theme.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
So beautiful... You can almost hear the crickets!
ReplyDeleteI love open spaces. We have moved from the city to a more open rural area. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteGuess I would have walked here every day if it was nearby my home! Wonderful space to feel free :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day :)
With a packed house that natural space must be a delight to roam around! It looks lovely! Nice and green and space enough. :)
ReplyDeleteA wide open space is a great choice!
ReplyDeleteI can never shoot the moon properly... so I left it to the experts:

ReplyDeleteGotta love the open spaces!

Very nice post of an open space. I wonder where it will head? Have a nice weekend..
ReplyDeletePack-rat house apart, you do live in beautiful surroundings!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not participating in the photohunt this weekend - I forgot!! :-(
Pretty picture and interesting info!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Thanks for sharing the information about chase. I enjoy learning new things while looking at the photos in each week's Photo Hunt.
ReplyDeleteNice photo for the theme, Jam!
ReplyDeleteHappy week-end!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteYou left a comment on my "inner space" images that you wanted to see more. If you click on the image it will take you to the rest of the photos in the series.
That is a great space for clearing your mind!
ReplyDeleteOh my..this is beautiful and how lucky to have it so close...
ReplyDeleteSo that's what a chase looks like. I'll keep it in mind while writing my next historical romance.
ReplyDeletewow!
ReplyDeletevast of greenery!
green is good for eyes :D
That's an unexpectedly open and wild space for Dagenham - not what I'd expect to see at all. I'm glad you have it there.
ReplyDeletewow i need to be walking down that path right now :-)
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful open space :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful Jams...thanks for the information also explaining. I always love learning new terms and their meanings. Not to mention the connection here with history.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and a great pick for the theme!!:D
Love that path, thanks for the new word to add to my vocabulary!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Can almost smell the grass. Thanks for the explanation too, a new word yet again to my vocabulary too.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the visit =)
Beautiful photo and beautiful space. Great take on the theme.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how people in different countries and cultures hav found the same soltions to create safe walks over the wetlands.
ReplyDeleteThis could have been in Norway, but then you would have ssen some snowcaped mountains in the background
Excellent entry.
I do think my entry this week shows even more space;))

I'm learning not to be a packrat...but it's so hard! I need another house for the things I want to keep and another to live in!
ReplyDeleteGreat view
Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'D like to have much space like that! :D I only have 75 sq mtrs at most! lol. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the orchard. We're losing so much farm land here due to housing that no one is buying! Our lawmakers are such baffoons
ReplyDeletePackrats, hmmm? We just rented a small storage shed so we could get some of our "over-flow" out of my hair. Our stuff has overrun us - especially since we moved to a 2 bedroom from a 4 bdrm. AGH! I had a massive garage sale but some stuff is SO hard to part with. Plus, my hubman has guitars, amps, etc., and I've got tons of art supples. The birds occupy the 2nd bedroom. So I understand packrat all too well!
~~~Blessings~~~
What a beautiful space...all that green! Love it! My hunt is up, please come and visit even though I am out of town right now!
ReplyDeletewow! thats beautiful! great shot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. It sure looks spacious!
ReplyDeletenowadays any space without buildings is a scarcity in town living
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely place. It looks very peaceful there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, looks very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone
