There's been lots of changes such as the water fountains in front of the Guildhall, and huge works works going on to the outside of the Cathedral with ramps and new paving to make it a bit easier for people such as me who kept falling over. Lovely to see how much things have changed in a few years! Now off to see some more of your posts!sweetbriardreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036932595395191529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-3508918618856258662010-12-03T11:09:59.755+00:002010-12-03T11:09:59.755+00:00Felisa...

As essentially a travel journal, it has been difficult showing my photographic eye but I think regular readers will be getting a better idea of that now.<br /><br />Cranberry Morning... Thanks, I couldn't believe it when I saw Henry VIII in that location, it needed to be photographed. The bird is a real photograph with reflections of windows from a 1980s style riverside apartment block.<br /><br />Sweet Virginia Breeze... Thanks, It would be unfair to someone like yourself just to show a bunch of photographs. One of the problems with this in the UK is that some people accept these buildings and their history as normal.<br /><br />Travelling Hawk... Thanks, the seagull picture didn't look real when I was taking it.<br /><br />Adrian... Thanks, I had no idea what I was going to see or talk about when I arrived here. Always good to keep the eye wide open for opportunities. I'm stuck for once to reply to your good comment.<br /><br />Pharaonx... Thanks, I didn't like history when I was younger, I try to make it fun if possible. <br /><br />Poshboatz... Thanks for looking in, I always have to be careful what I say about a place as I never know which local person is about to jump down my neck. I think I got away with it again this time....only just. Nice Youtube clip by the way... maybe I should charge for advertising !<br /><br />Berit @ Bare builder... Thanks, It was a shame that the sun didn't shine in the afternoon following the morning railway visit. I have a few more cities to see during the winter that I have rail tickets for.<br /><br />Trevor Woodford... Thanks, I didn't know I was going to say this much, pleased you enjoyed it.<br /><br />Wind... Thanks. Sorry you had a bad morning. Hey, all that smoke in your car... it could be dangerous ...you might not be able to see out of the window ... you might hit the car in front ...you might hurt yourself.<br />I too forget everything when I enter your blog. Why post a dog picture when I have Henry VIII !!! . Ah, today is friday and I travel this afternoon for the weekend...conference !! <br /><br />Lily Riani ... Thanks, Photography is a life long learning process, as with other arts and music, we learn and are influenced by others. I don't consider my photographs as anything special but I hope I can inspire you.<br /><br />TossanR... Thanks, pleased you enjoyed my journey through time and the city.<br /><br />Petrus... Thanks, It is not an area that I am too familiar with but I was pleased that it was easily accessible to me. Some cities are a bit nondescript but there were a few items of interest here that I think I managed to highlight.<br /><br />JoLynne Lyon... Thanks, It's nice to bring it alive, I feels like I was the only person in PB that wasn't thinking about shopping that day.<br /><br />Mahon... Thanks, It's sometimes difficult, but I try to find something unique about cities and towns .....or else they all might look the same here!! I'm was pleased to show you around.<br /><br />Vania Moreira... Thanks, pleased you liked it. As I said earlier, some people here accept this as normal, I think I have been inspired by you and all these other comments to continue my mission !!<br /><br />Rizalenio... Thanks, I am pleased you like my fusion of old and new. I am privileged to have the opportunity to do this for you.<br /><br />Sciarada... Thanks, pleased you enjoyed it. Many people do not know about the places I visit. Hopefully I can keep it interesting in the future, although all the blog posts just happen to be where i visit or what I do next.<br /><br />T. Becque... Thanks, the fusion of information here was interesting to write. I didn't even notice the architecture of Starbucks until I was on the other side of the square.... to quote a phrase used elsewhere in the comments, maybe I have created an optical illusion.J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-74701939060648943122010-11-18T13:39:13.769+00:002010-11-18T13:39:13.769+00:00Love series like this that show the history and ar...Love series like this that show the history and architecture of a place!

I think the 'surfing on the Nene'...Hi folks. I think the 'surfing on the Nene' is an optical illusion here - the bird is standing in the shallows. However, it does indeed run on water.<br /><br />We have two similar waterbirds over here, the Coot and the Moorhen. The moorhen has a red bill, whereas the Coot's is pure white. When disturbed the Coot prefers to run away on top of the water. There is a brief example in the 'Meadow's Way' video below at around 1 min 54 sec.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/user/PoshboatzPeterboro<br /><br />Call in and see us if you are ever over here!<br />Best wishes.<br />Capt.

Seems that Henry had an appetite for extra of everything. The caption 'Surfing on the River Nene' - is that a photograph?? That is so cool. That would be great to hang on a wall. Love that 'horizontal' window shot. And I just can't get over all the amazing buildings there that I'd love to visit. Living in a country that was just getting itself organized <250 years ago, I'm in awe of the timeline over there! Thank you so much for this post. I love the history lesson!!Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.com
