That dead tree looks (to me) like a lady walking by!
MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
One of the largest castles in Britain, Dover Castle is strategically located at the shortest crossing point to continental Europe (between Dover and Calais). Its origins lie in the Iron Age, and a Roman Lighthouse and Anglo-Saxon church can still be seen within the grounds. William of Normandy strengthened existing Anglo-Saxon fortifications here in 1066, but it was Henry II who set the blueprint for today's castle when he had the fortifications rebuilt in the 1180's, adding the massive keep and a series of concentric defences. Over the centuries, the defences were continually enlarged and improved, with the castle retaining a military role into the mid twentieth century. An underground hospital and the command centre used for the Dunkirk evacuation are a legacy from the Second World War.

I often used to walk from Gravesend along the bank of the River Thames to Greenhithe, then take the bus back...
By the river at Greenhithe was my favourite place for dusk and sunsets on the river, looking up river, as here. The QEII Bridge and (since demolished) Littlebrook Power Station dominate, but London is also visible, in the centre of the frame, some of its sillier bits.
The river is 215 miles or so, and a part of it flows through London: most of it doesn't ! Not a lot of people know that, it seems.

Ricky : “Mom says 'Get dressed! We're going out!' So I get dressed, thinking we're going SOMEWHERE... We barely left the house!"
Me : “Ricky thought we were going to the mall.. I never said we were going to the mall.."
Ricky : “Dad said mall yesterday..."
Me : “Yeah. That was yesterday, but we didn't end up going.."
Ricky : “And you're surprised that I thought we were going today??"
Me : “You've got a point.."
Ricky : “Sooo we're heading to the mall??"
Me : “Nooo."
