Castles, rivers, scenery, barges, pies, civil war history, Norman castle ruins, fish and chips, art, tall tales, hermit caves, a music scene, creepy caves – what more could you possibly want?
Some views of Skipton and Knaresborough
Dunster Castle – Devon.
As it was a gloomy day we decided to have a look at the castle. I like old things. Looking back at history reminds me how bloody and gory it was and what massive inequality existed.
There were the famous leather tapestries showing scenes from Anthony and Cleopatra.
One interesting fact was that the sea used to come right up to the front of the castle where all those green fields are. With global warming it probably will again.
Beautiful bark, castles, flowers, dead shrews and frogs.
Whatever takes my eye is snapped! I like colour, nature and old things.
Prague – Cormorants, castles, cathedrals architecture, and more bridges.
The place is packed with interesting old architecture. Very picturesque.
Jersey – Approaching on the ferry – photos
It was a sunny day as we approached the island of Jersey on the ferry. It looked extremely picturesque.
The Farne Islands, Birds, castles, seals and lighthouses.
It was an amazing sight to see the adult birds feeding their young, to see such great numbers of birds and be able to get so close to them. Quite an experience. As a biologist it was like being in wonderland.
More Photos from the South of France – a fabulous region.
It was in 2003 that we ventured back into France. I love the culture, the people, food and wine. The scenery is spectacular.
It was an opportunity for me to utilise the language skills I picked up at school – strangely the French people did not seem to understand their own language!
The South of France – Photos
We were invited to a wedding in the South of France. It was so beautiful. We must go back!
Scotland – Splendid Birds, Mountains, Castles, Crosses and Woods.
Photography – Castles and defences and windmills
Jersey must have been the most fortified island in history. It’s littered with castles and defences.
