Carrying on with the theme of my own photographs, we've looked very briefly at the 'local' sea! So we move on to history!
These are just a few that I've taken at one of our sites. The Priory, Birkenhead, part of which dates back to the 12th century and the oldest building on Merseyside. Less than half a mile from where I work and just five miles from where I live!!
To think that monks probably, no definitely looked through those very windows, they wouldn't of seen a crane though but I like photies that show contrast and that one does!

I love the black and whites. I am thinking that I am going to have to try to get some while I am in England and Ireland. They are just so much more dramatic! I am really looking forward to seeing your part of the world. My first time! I want to find a haunted castle....
Yeah, I know, I'm strange ;o)
I love history....best subject in high school...can't seem to remember any of it..Thinking I should start looking into the history in my home town...It's named Fort Edward..A fort named after a man named Edward...go to go..got some research to do..

See what I meant about hiring a proper bricklayer?
You don't want your building falling down after a mere 900 years.
Really beautiful.
That is something that would even be more amazing right in front of you!
