I guess if Hollywood (posted yesterday) is colloquially called an informal setlement, then the village of Amberglen (and the other Amber developments of Amber Valley and the original Amberfield) must be formal settlements. So just for the record here is a view from the north east looking back over Amberglen towards the town of Howick. A lot more uniform than its informal counterpart, unquestionably more comfortable, and almost (but arguably not quite) as great a setting. The Amber developments were started by Ian Taylor, then continued by his son Rob, and were one of the reasons for the recent dramatic growth in the population of Howick. Comprising of over a thousand units to date, two new phases are underway. Rob's often controversial life ended off Table Mountain last year. The Ambers remain his memorial.
Once again I have cropped the image to a widescreen landscape aspect. Magnifique.
