This Day in History
2001 - Robert Pickett, 47, fired several shots at the White House near the South Lawn. He was subdued after being shot in the knee. No one else was hurt in the incident.
"The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun."
Francis William Bourdillon
Listening to: Old England by The Waterboys
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
~ William Shakespeare, Richard II
Polaroid Week April 2016 7/2
Expired 690 and 250 camera
Taken near Steyning in West Sussex where the English countryside with its gentle rolling hills and narrow country lanes is so enchanting.
When I saw this scene - the sheep, the cows, the green pastures and above all, that light, I immediately thought of William Blake's poem Jerusalem :
And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
...
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land

Silbury Hill, Wiltshire, England. I liked the way the fence posts were barely visible for all the cow parsley and how they mirrored the shape of the hill.

Mow Cop Castle - February - 12 of 12
Nice and sunny but blowing a hoolie at the top, yet again! So not easy to stand still to take this, my last photo of Mow Cop Castle for the group 12 Months of the Same Image.
It's been a fun exercise to do and I've seen some great skies! :)

Thought to repost this photo. It brings nice memories of places I will probably never see again.

Birmingham University, England
The Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower, or simply Old Joe, is a clock tower and campanile located in Chancellor's court at the University of Birmingham, in the suburb of Edgbaston.
It is the tallest free-standing clock tower in the world, although its actual height is the subject of some confusion. The university lists it as both 110 metres (361 ft) and 99 metres (325 ft) tall, whereas other sources state that it is 100 metres (328 ft) tall.
The tower was built to commemorate Joseph Chamberlain, the first Chancellor of the University (with the commemoration being carved into the stone at the tower's base), although one of the original suggested names for the clock tower was the 'Poynting Tower', after one of the earliest professors at the University, Professor John Henry Poynting.
The nicknames Old Joe, or simply The Clock Tower are used by the student population and local residents.
A prominent landmark in Birmingham, the grade II listed tower can be seen for miles around the campus, and has become synonymous with the University itself. There is a superstition, taken seriously amongst some students of the University, that if they walk through the tower's archway when it chimes, they will fail their degree.
