What better place to start than Blarney Castle in Ireland.
OK so I am interested in construction.
When I saw these plants I thought they were rhubarb and I was going to write to my brother, Ted, and say how about this bubba?
At the top of the main structure on the side nearest the round tower, is the Blarney Stone. I didn't kiss it because I thought it would be redundant.
Looking down at the watchtower.
Canarferon Castle in Wales. Perhaps one of the most elaborate and well preserved castles of my experience.
This is where the Prince of Wales is crowned, the first born son of the reigning monarch.
Canarferon is a port city.
St. Mary's church in Kirk Bramwith, South Yorkshire.
A plaque from St. Mary's dating back to just fifty years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.
The man who made the woodwork in many of the churches in the area left his mark in many places in the church.
I included this as it lists my friend and host, Eve Atherfold as the current priest in charge.
The organ at York Minster. I rather like the shot across the bible.
This is the east end of York Minster.
And the rose window at York Minster. Obviously lighting would be a problem. This is taken with available light.
The Lincoln Cathedral. Taken at 8 o'clock in the morning before there were any people about. A sign at the church says it takes 50,000 pounds a week to operate and maintain this building.
It is reported that RAF pilots returning from bombing missions in Germany would use these spires to guide them back.
The Cathedral at Southwell near Nottingham. You can see it is much older. You are looking at the west entrance.
This is the east, or altar end of Southwell Cathedrall.
