Misty scenery at #hastingscastle. Hastings Castle is a keep and bailey castle ruin situated in the town of Hastings, East Sussex. It overlooks the English Channel, into which large parts of the castle have fallen over the years. The construction of Hastings Castle depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry , showing the raising of an earthen motte topped by a wooden palisade and was built upon order of William the Conqueror.

A grassy path runs through the foreground, bordered by walls consisting of various stones and bricks of different sizes and colors. The misty environment adds a serene atmosphere to the historical site.

Welcome to #edinburgh straight from #edinburghairport - I hoped to return very, very soon and in May 2025, this finally happened. But that's still not enough as this city has still soooo much to give!

This #Parthenon-replica in #edinburgh looks quite better than the original in Athens!

Narrow dirt pathway flanked by aged, deteriorating crypts and tombstones under a cloudy sky in a historic cemetery. The path is bordered by stone structures and leafy trees, leading towards a round, tower-like stone edifice on the right. The scene is cast in a sepia tone, enhancing the somber, antique atmosphere of the setting.

Great view on the St. James’s Park, looking like the Island of #Avalon expecting our visit...

"When waters stirred lay silent
Mistress let the mists descend
Thy tears cannot thaw Death's cold heart
His sombre gaze defies legend
More so than thine lest thy dew-lidded eyes
Art for the Banshee's song
Or our souls entwined like vein upon
The haunted shores of Avalon"

(CRADLE OF FILTH, "The haunted Shores of Avalon")

June 8th, 2024 in 1376 marked the death of Edward Plantagenet (of Woodstock), who died aged 45 exactly 649 years ago. Being one of the famous and ruthless actors in the Hundred Years War and the only Prince of Wales who didn't become king, he was laid to rest in Canterbury Cathedral where his surcoat, helmet, shield, and gauntlets are still preserved.

Some years ago I visited Canterbury to participate in the history preserved at Canterbury Cathedral.

A metallic sculpture of a medieval knight in full armor reclines with interlaced hands near his chest and a peaceful expression on his face. The knight wears a detailed helmet with chainmail, ornately engraved armor showcasing floral patterns, and jointed gauntlets. His legs are slightly bent, and his feet rest near a three-dimensional lion head, part of the sculpture. The setting includes a dark background with metallic bars, possibly indicating an indoor location.

Nearly any rooftop-photo in inner London reveals the great and always busy-being world of this astonishing metropolis!

Panoramic view of a city skyline featuring a mix of modern skyscrapers of various shapes including cylindrical and angular designs, under a cloudy sky. The foreground shows densely packed buildings with a tower under construction towards the left.

Many cities have their own flair which makes them simply special. Looking over the river Thames, I see many aspects that made me fell in love with London. Time to visit this place again next months: Finally!

Aerial view of the River Thames in London, featuring busy water traffic including boats and barges. The Shard skyscraper dominates the left side, while various other modern buildings line the riverbanks. Multiple bridges span the river, and the cityscape includes recognizable silhouettes such as St. Paul's Cathedral in the distance under a clear blue sky.

Nice view on the river Thames reminding me how much I do miss the London life these days...

Overcast sky above the River Thames featuring multiple boats moored and moving, with Lambeth Bridge in the background. Skyscrapers and construction cranes can also be seen, illustrating a cityscape likely in an urban setting.

Elizabeth Tower powered by Big Ben looking down on Westminster Bridge at down. While many aspects and sceneries of London change, this one is made to endure and survive everything!

The big famous wheel - sideways!

Years ago, we used to travel from Belgian #Oostende to Ramsgate in eastern Kent before switching over to the route #Dunkerque - #dover.

This scenery shows the lovely ferry port of Ramsgate in the morning when we made a quick side-trip to #Canterbury back in 2015.

Wide angle view of a coastal town with clear blue skies over calm sea waters; the town features densely packed traditional buildings and modern structures visible behind a harbor filled with boats and bordered by a protective seawall.

Despite having my opinion towards Christendom and rather following the Nordic beliefs, I always admired the ways especially cathedrals were built in the well-known gothic style.

It's amazing what people were able to create in the Middle Ages just for God's sake and if you've ever read Ken Follett's "The Pillars of the Earth" you will know what I am talking about - this archway of Canterbury Cathedral's inner courtyard is a piece of architectural excellence in terms of a gothic building!

Vertical image of an ornate gothic cloister passage with vaulted stone arches and intricate ribbed ceilings. The pathway features worn gray stone slabs and is lined with numerous slim columns adorned with detailed carvings. Near the far end, an enclosed glass lantern hangs above a placard mounted on the wall. Sunlight filters through openings on the right, creating a play of light and shadows along the corridor.

Arched stone corridor of a Gothic cathedral with intricately carved columns on the left, leading to a grassy courtyard visible through the openings. The walkway is paved with stone tiles, exhibiting wear and varying shades. Sunlight illuminates the corridor, enhancing the texture and detail of the stone architecture.

My last "Goodbye" to lovely Kent and the Seven Sisters back in 2018 - time to finally come back, this has long been overdue!

Sunset over a calm sea with golden light reflecting on the water. In the background, hilly terrain with low-lying buildings and a few visible antennas silhouetted against the dimming sky.

Missing this view...

"The sea did what it liked, and what it liked was destruction.
It thundered at the town, and thundered at the cliffs,
and brought the coast down, madly."

(Charles Dickens)

Lush green hillside slopes down to a chalky white cliff overlooking a calm azure sea. Wildflowers and shrubs dot the foreground under a clear sky, enhancing a serene coastal landscape.

The Anchor is a pub in the London Borough of Southwark. It is in the Bankside locality on the south bank of the River Thames, close to Southwark Cathedral and London Bridge station. A tavern establishment has been at the pub's location for over 800 years and I stumbled upon this great scenery by coincidence back in 2015.

Brick facade of 'The Anchor' pub with red window frames and signage displaying the name and beverage offerings. A chalkboard sign advertises a Sunday roast near the entryway. The pub features intricate details like potted plants and vines climbing around and above the entrance, which is labeled "Main Entrance & Roof Garden." The street is cobblestoned, enhancing the traditional appeal.

Today is May 4th so it's still the "May the Force be with you"-day. Reason enough to dig into my archive and reveal this great guy once performing in London, using the force to levitate. This picture is ten years old these days but a classic nevertheless!

A street performer dressed as Yoda from Star Wars, appears to float with the aid of a green staff that extends to the ground covered in matching fabric. The performer is on a city street with passing cars and a blue taxi, near signage indicating Trafalgar Square. A tip jar sits on the pavement nearby.

And yet another one from lovely #Soho made while the night conquers day! Life and scenery here in Soho are aspects that make this part of London a very special one!

Narrow city street at dusk lined with old multi-story buildings illuminated by streetlights and neon signs. People walk along the sidewalks, and a wet road reflects the lights.
