The Balmoral steaming away form Clevedon Pier on her journey across the Bristol Channel. I would have loved a trip on her but this was the last trip of the day and heavy rain was setting in.
We still had a great time at Clevedon though. we visited the lovely church that was featured in the tv series Broadchurch. I always thought most of this series was filmed in Dorset but it seems various locations around Clevedon were used you can see why, it's a lovely town with so many Victorian features.
Came to York on the train today and this decorated door reminded us that we had left Scotland and arrived in England. Beautiful old town.
Cuckmere Haven. This is where the 'Cuckmere River' (apparently one should never say 'River Cuckmere') meets the sea, viewed from the Seaford Head side. You can just see a small patch of the deep-blue fresh water on the far left, as it flows out into the white-capped breakers of the rather choppy Channel.
I suspect that every photographer who has been to this part of the Sussex coast has a version of this shot in their archive, and rightly so.
England.
Sussex.
Home.
This was taken of the well-known York Minster which is in the background behind some unknown buildings in the town of York, England. I was walking the York City Walls when I captured this. The York Minster has some of the most amazing stained glass you will ever see, and apparently some of it dates back to the 12th century - definitely worth a visit if you are ever in York.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment.
There was a time when we thought that the Anglican Church was as unchangeable and as permanent as the English weather, that the red telephone cubicle was part of an identifiable English character, and that the equally red letter box would be eternal.
"Oh, oh, you think you're special
Oh, oh, you think you're something else"
The Anglican Church is no longer what it used to be - and its majority is no longer "English". English weather is now a matter of unpredictable surprises, telephone cubicles have been superseded by smart phones, and the Royal Mail is neither royal nor reliable in its delivery of letters. And the English character? You tell me. We in the UK are living among fossilised objects, and if new life is springing up it will in all likelihood have little to do with the Anglican Church, the Royal Mail and Englishness. Let me put it bluntly, it is immigration that is blowing new life into a sclerotised and inelastic body. Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4.
Some church... Un vagabondage de Winchester à Swanage. So brittish ...
...
A trip from Winchester to Swanage. So British !
By the Stone Jetty rests this beautiful old building, I think that it connected travelers to and from Ireland and Scotland.
This little town impressed me ...
The Angel of the North is a contemporary sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley, located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England. Completed in 1998, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, 20 metres tall, with wings measuring 54 metres across.
Many thanks for viewing and the Faves
I wish you all a very pleasant weekend......;-))
the note in Queen's House, Greenwich explains: "These are the first centrally unsupported stairs in England, copying a Venetian model. The stone treas lock perfectly into each other and the wall, requiring no central structure and creating the famous upwards view. The striking wrought-iron rail has been restored to its original smalt blue. It has long been described as showing tulips but they are probably lilies, the royal flower of France, in compliment to Henrietta Maria.
