Fun fact: on the other side of that fence is a pub Rabbie Burns used to visit. It's next to #RoslynChapel (of Da Vinci Code fame).

Pic 1 - my nephew (& me) out for a wee walk last week.
Pics 2&3 - pics of the 14thC Chapel.

The Great West Window at Winchester Cathedral. This medieval window was destroyed by the Parliamentarian soldiers in the English Civil War 1642 and the pieces of glass were put back as a patchwork. (See ALT)

The window is at the front entrance to the cathedral and is massive. The shards and pieces of glass were stored secretly by the townspeople for 18 years until the restoration of the monarchy, King Charles II. The glass was replaced in a mosaic pattern. As Morecambe and Wise might have said, “ All the right pieces, not necessarily in the right order.”

I first visited Scotney Castle many years ago when you could actually go inside. It has become unsafe but the views outside are fantastic. This is a view of reflections on the moat one April.

I've been in Hoi An since last week. It's such a charming town. I spent a month here in 2023 and the Japanese bridge was being restored at the time. It's nice to see it without the scaffolding!

#travel #Vietnam #hoian #ancientbuildings
The newly restored Japanese bridge in the ancient town of Hoi An, Vietnam. View of the red bridge over the river, flanked by the typical yellow houses of Hoi An. A small altar inside the Japanese bridge. A big altar inside the Japanese bridge, made of antique wood and covered with all sorts of buddhist relics. A closer view of the old covered Japanese bridge in Hoi An. The walls are painted red and the roof is made of terracotta roof tiles with blue and white decorative elements. The middle part of the bridge is open so pedestrians inside can look outside.

Wasn't sure which picture to post for #SundayPixArches so you lucky people are getting two. Both from the Roman ampitheatre in El Jem in Tunisia taken in 2015.

Series of high sandstone arches, retreating into the distance and curving away to the right. The picture has a blurred effect of motion towards a central point. Picture of a broad, underground tunnel with deep shadows between the four pools of light from unseen ceiling skylights that lead down the tunnel. The walls are large, blocks of sandstone and you can see the stone arches going down the tunnel, leading to what is probably a wide arched doorway, but it is lost in the shadows.

Built between 1080 and 1150, located near Tintagel Castle, an area steeped in Arthurian legend. The tower was built in the 14th Century and overlooks the sea from a cliff.

St Materiana's Church, Tintagel, the tower is pictured centrally below grey cloudy skies, rising up above a traditionally built Cornish stone wall and grassy verge.
