Dogs dressed as their owners

Do dogs really look like their owners? They do in this project by Swiss photographer Sebastian Magnani – he has spliced together portraits of the owners with their four-legged friends in a series called Underdogs.

Sutton Valence, Kent

Posted on June 9, 2013 by | Comments Off on Sutton Valence, Kent

Sutton Valence is a small, historical village near Maidstone. There are the remains of a castle which are open to the public (free). We parked in the village (very picturesque – so good to take visitors to if you want to show them an English village that isn’t touristy) then walked round to the castle and continued round the block. There appears to be an area/field/wood to walk the dog in which is on the right hand side as you return to the village – follow the stair where you see a dog poo bin. We went from here to Mote Park – a good combination.

    Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent

    Posted on June 9, 2013 by | Comments Off on Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent

    This country park is at the edge of Maidstone so driving there feels like you are in suburbia but once you’re there you feel removed from any residential vibe. A big park with a lake and surrounding areas. The paths are wide and well kept. When we went it was a sunny day and very busy but we didn’t feel crowded in. A large party was on one bit of the lake side (with bungy jump) and almost everyone had a dog. There seems to be a more wooded area on the other side so we will try one of the other car park areas next time.
