Flag-stoned flow of the courtyard, with a stone wall to the left with three picnic tables against the wall and a view out under part of the building to the square, with a white ceiling and lights.

A little nearer home than Chicago, Berlin and Hamburg, this is the inner courtyard of The King’s Arms pub in Stow-on-the-Wold, The Cotswolds. The ‘tunnel’ is the opening to the main square of Stow.

An empty street, sided by buildings in pale Cotswold stone. The shadows add relief to the buildings and cover half of the street to the right.
