Cropped, red and blue channels adjusted to enhance the evening light, frame added and sharpened.
This is Bibury in the Cotswolds and is typical example of a Cotswold village.
Converted this image to sepia and I think this works really well, to add to the 'historical mood'. However this challenge is about 'where you live' and not 'when you lived' so I entered the colour version. Hope you like it?

This is a beautiful place. I really like it. I think that you should have got a higher place though but that is my opinion. I really like it. Great focus and great center. Nice flowers to the touch and also nice background on a beautiful day. GREAT JOB!
This is Arlington Row in the village of Bibury and these cottages date back to the 16th century. Unfortunately there was a car parked just out of shot on the left hand side. So this restricted my composition somewhat, luckily there is a small mound which I stood on to give the very slight 'looking down the hill' impression.
Thanks again for everyones votes.
Lovely scene. You selected a first rate subject and you shot it from a fantastic angle. The border could be smaller but the photograph is superb for the challenge. One of my favorites.
Nice picture, I would like to see a little bit more sky, the road in the left bottom is taking too much of attention. I would crop it just below the flowers. (8)
This place is awesome! Reminds me of hobbit town :-) I like how you have taken the road there to lead us into the picture, you can sink into it! Great job!
Every time I look at this shot my estimation of it increases. My only comment is I wish it were shot at ground level. From this perspective the structures looks miniature. . . homes for the Hobbits. I am not sure that is your intention. At first the pale coloring bothered me. But it gives a painted quality. Ok. One moere comment. Just a little sharper focus would have added immensely to this beautiful setting. BOL 7 from me
Very nice houses and nice light, showing good structure. I wish it was taken a bit more from the front. The houses are the main subject of the picture, byt the eye is lead away from the houses to the opening at the back, where the path goes in between the houses. You could still have use the path as a compositional element, but less dominating than it is now.
