This image shows a charming cobblestone street lined with historic, timber-framed buildings. The buildings exhibit a Tudor architectural style, characterized by black and white exteriors, steeply pitched roofs, and prominent cross-beams. There's also a brick building with what appears to be an alley alongside it. The street is empty, giving the scene a quaint and serene look, typical of a traditional English village. The greenery and bright sky add a fresh atmosphere to the scene. Signs on the buildings suggest some are commercial, perhaps shops or restaurants, which contribute to the local economy and tourism.

10/14/1066 AD: On this location the battle took place that shaped England’s destiny and more or less ended the Viking raids in England.

This date and reminds us that history is always present, day by day - and William the Conqueror decided to build a church on the place where all this happened to fortify his victory…

This image shows the ruins of a medieval abbey or church. The structure is characterized by a long nave marked by multiple arched windows along the walls, indicating a Gothic architectural style. At the far end, there is a more intact section with a pointed arch and several tall, narrow window openings that would have once held stained glass, leading to a roofless, arch-framed altar area. The ground is covered with gravel, and the remnants of the building give a historical and serene feel. The vegetation growing on and around the stone walls adds to the ancient and abandoned aesthetics of the place.

This image features a tranquil park scene with a river or canal running through it. Both sides of the water are lined with lush weeping willows, their branches and leaves hanging down towards the water surface, creating a dramatic and soothing natural canopy. The river's banks are well-manicured, and there's a bridge visible in the background which crosses the river. The setting appears to be very peaceful, typically found in a park or botanical garden designed for relaxation and enjoyment of nature.

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.
