For the first time in many months, I am actually up to date and posting the photos within the week they’re for. Week 30 took me to the Carillion in Lake Burley Griffin.
The Carillion was a gift from the UK Government in 1970. Living only 2km or so from it was incredibly annoying, as the bells are played very frequently.
A view of the lake from the Carillion:
And a willow tree suffering from winter:
The full set is on Flickr. And more to come next week.
Week 29 was taken at Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria. In particular, in the carpark during the morning fog.
The full set will be loaded with the rest of the backlog. And that’s actually got the photos up to date – of course, more are due next weekend. So see you in a day or two.
Week 28 is the last set of photos from my trip to Europe. This time, Whitby Abbey.
Full set to be loaded soon. And tomorrow is the last of the backlog.
Week 27 was taken at Hadrian’s Wall, in particular the old Roman fort of Vercovicium.
The site:
The wall:
The old commander’s barracks, showing the heating system:
The wall of the fort:
And looking South from the fort:
As before, I’ll be loading the full set soon. Just two more catch ups to go.
Week 26 was taken at the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.
The view from the road on the way to the causeway:
And the causeway itself:
Full set to be loaded when my Internet resets at the start of August. Just a few more days of backlog now.
Week 25 was taken at Pembroke Castle in Wales. A fantastic castle, well worth visiting if you’re in the area.
The view from the battlements:
The old Norman hall, the core of the buildings on the site:
The cave under the castle, the origin of activity on the site:
The view inside the keep:
And the view from the top of the keep:
Full set to be loaded at the start of August. More to come on Tuesday.
Week 24 was taken at Stonehenge.
I’m sure the full set will show up eventually. More on Monday (the backlog would be down to four, except another week has passed, so I actually owe five…)
Week 23 was taken at Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill.
The main entrance:
The main building of the palace:
The Column of Victory:
An eye above the entrance to the palace:
The Capability Brown gardens:
The full set will get uploaded eventually… More on Sunday.
Week 22 was taken at Bletchley Park in Milton Keynes, home of the people who cracked German codes in WW2.
The rebuilt Bombe, the machines used to crack the Enigma code:
The sadly neglected huts that the code breakers worked in:
A Harrier Jump Jet, which had no discernible reason for being here:
The rebuilt Colossus computer (another code breaker, and the first digital computer):
The office of Alan Turing during the war:
The full set will be up in a week or two. More on Saturday.
Week 21 was taken at Highgate Cemetery in London.
The full set isn’t up yet, but will be soon. More on Friday.
