ARLINGTON ROW

BIBURY, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1173a

Bibury is situated in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds on the River Coln 9 miles from the market town of Burford. The village was once described by William Morris as 'the most beautiful village in the Cotswolds'. One of the village's main tourist spots and overlooking a water meadow and the river is Arlington Row, a group of ancient cottages with steeply pitched roofs dating back to the 16th Century. Henry Ford thought Arlington Row was an icon of England. On a trip to the Cotswolds he tried to buy the entire row of houses to ship back to Michigan.

UPPER SLAUGHTER

THE COTSWOLDS, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1169

Upper Slaughter is a village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of Stow-on-the-Wold. The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, a slow-moving stream crossed by two footbridges, which also flows through Lower Slaughter. There is a ford where the river widens in the village. Most of the 16th and 17th century homes in the village use Cotswold limestone and are adorned with mullioned windows and often with other embellishments such as projecting gables. The name of the village derives form the Old English term "slough" meaning "wet land". In 2013, the Parish Council opposed an icebox tricycle selling ice creams seven days a week, six months of the year, arguing that the trading times were excessive, increased footfall would prevent the grass from growing and children could climb on the trike and fall into the nearby river.

MEVAGISSEY

CORNWALL, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1156

Mevagissey is an attractive old town which was once the centre of Cornwall’s pilchard fishery and which still boasts a working harbour, with a few dozen small fishing boats. It has a tradition of boat building dating back to 1745. Many of the old buildings, constructed of cob and slate, bear testimony to a time when the large shoals of pilchards were the livelihood of the whole village. In the narrow streets are many gift shops, craft workshops, galleries, cafés and pubs. There are several hotels and many fish restaurants in Mevagissey and, of course, plenty of fish and chip shops! Many of the latter were once the haunts of Cornish smugglers. Megavissey was Atticus' favourite and most authentic Cornwall coastal village.

FOWEY

CORNWALL, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1143

Fowey is a small town, civil parish and cargo port at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall, England. It is at the entrance to a large flooded valley created after the last ice age by the melt waters that caused the sea level to rise dramatically, creating a large natural harbour which is navigable for its last seven miles. Fowey is in the South Coast (Eastern Section) of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are many historic buildings in the town, including the ruins of St Catherine's Castle. Fowey has been the inspiration for many authors, including Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch ('Q'), Daphne du Maurier, Leo Walmsley and Kenneth Grahame.

ISLE OF SKYE, SCOTLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1123

Struan (Scottish Gaelic: An Sruthan) is a small village on the west coast of the island of Skye, on the shores of Loch Beag, itself an inlet of Loch Harport. "Struan" is the anglicized form (and approximate pronunciation) of the Scottish Gaelic word sruthan, meaning "small stream", or the flow at the point where a spring appears. It has a population of around 300. While there are four different Protestant denominations represented in the area, church attendance has declined dramatically, and Sabbath keeping is largely forgotten. The local economy, like most of Skye, is heavily supported by tourism. Fishing, crofting and to a lesser extent, large-scale farming also contribute.

EILEAN DONAN CASTLE

SCOTLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1121

Eilean Donan (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Donnain) is a small tidal island where three sea lochs meet - Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh, in the western Highlands of Scotland. A picturesque castle dominates the island, which lies about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the village of Dornie. Since the castle's restoration in the early 20th century, a footbridge has connected the island to the mainland. The castle was founded in the thirteenth century, and became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan MacRae. In the early eighteenth century, the Mackenzies' involvement in the Jacobite rebellions led in 1719 to the castle's destruction by government ships. Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap's twentieth-century reconstruction of the ruins produced the present buildings.

KAZUYA MORIMOTO AT WORK

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1107

New York City based artist Kazuya Morimoto was born and raised in Japan and studied at the Art Factory Institution Of Art with Makoto Arimichi in Japan. Shortly after graduation, Kazuya moved to New York City to study painting at the Art Students League. He was awarded several grants and scholarships and has had exhibitions and public art displayed in New York, Chicago and Washington DC. Recently Kazuya Morimoto has been devoting most of his time to painting the streets of New York City, especially historical preservation areas such as Greenwich Village, the West Village, and nearby neighborhoods. He has been archiving old shop fronts and capturing the moments of local scenes before they change and lose their current quality. He attends local art events and helps to save and revitalize the uniqueness of local scenes. Atticus encountered him in a delicatessen window in Edinburgh and shot this image without knowing he was capturing an internationally-known artist at work.

The lower image shows the particular buildings that Kazuya Morimoto was painting.

BONNEVAL-SUR-ARC

FRANCE

IMAGE NUMBER 1091

This authentic and typically Savoyard village, the highest of the Maurienne region, has charming old stone houses with slate roofs and wooden balconies. Bonneval-sur-Arc is also a village ski resort. The village is just below the Col de L'Iseran, the highest paved pass in Europe.

Atticus captured this house, not because it is typical, but because it is extraordinary. Too many photographers in this region seek to extrapolate the ordinary from the exceptional. Very few houses near Mont Blanc go to such floral exuberance.
