Morebath, Devon. Back in the sixteenth century the vicar of this church, one Christopher Trychay kept church accounts that amounted to a diary that gives fascinating insight into the life of this village in north Devon throughout the Reformation period. I learnt about it from this book, which I couldn't put down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voices_of_Morebath

I love that building. Actually I've just been re-reading one of the guidebooks about it history and design. Is this a recent shot? I don't see too much scaffolding.

There was a bit of talk about it here where fotoi posted a pic of some scaffolding: https://focus-on-photography.net/threads/show-rooftops.606/page-5#post-35544

No, image taken in October 2016. I removed the scaffolding in post to enhance the building details. Probably verboten, but I remove many distracting things from my images.

I do this in Faststone viewer, it's quick but I have the Chinese Airbrush app that has an AI eraser and does it better and quicker. I was wondering if i can do it in windows too.
