I had to do a double take. The photo of the small English town looks almost exactly like a photo I took when I visited. It's Castle Combe, pissed me off to no end to find out there is no castle there. Here's my photo:

Have you ever shared that photo online before? That really looks like your pic

I did share it on my Facebook page which I'll link below. I'm looking closely at the photos and they are subtly different. I think their photo was taken after some rain as the road looks a bit reflective. Also, the spot I took the photo from seems to be a common spot. I could be wrong so I'll try and find the original post.

While I am eternally grateful for your efforts in researching those and fetching links, I will not be going to either of those websites for personal reasons. I'm glad it's not your photo been stolen!

Ironically the people that will post the former online will all live in the latter.
