Golcar (pronounced Goker by the locals) is a village near where I live that I've never really looked at before. Had a lovely morning this week just wandering round and discovering all kinds of attractive aspects which I'd like to share. It's actually mentioned in the Doomsday book apparently and the old part is very photogenic. It's built on a steep hillside looking up the Colne Valley, which is where we start - looking out over the valley over and between rooftops. Hope you like these.
Mainly K5ii and Pentax 18-135mm

Yes, I like those John. Looks a really robust 'here to stay' sort of place. The stonework is very attractive too in a practical sense.

Have never actually heard of the place...when I saw the name I assumed you must have been on holiday to Turkey!

cheers
