And the rain is obscuring the view from mine.

Apart from parts of Australia in Country Victoria & Tasmania, parts of Ireland, Eastern USA, Southern and Eastern Scotland, and probably quite a few other places round the world.

Can't top the view, but there is some inspiration at hand when I'm painting ~

No, England is different from all those.

Hmm scattered deciduous trees, rolling green sward, stone buildings, etc. etc. Add in NZ to that list.

Nope, it takes centuries of cultivation to achieve that look. SW Aus, NZ, South Central Chile, just don't have that look.

Actually its Yorkshire, AKA Gods own County, and therefore unique - or so I am told.
