Wanderings

Hi everyone. Here are some more of my photos from various wanderings around England. Erik and I have been trying to use our weekends to see as much as we can and I think we've done a pretty good job of it. We've been very lucky to have fantastic weather for the most part as well.
I hope you enjoy my photo travel log.

Windsor

This was a rainbow that appeared in Windsor just as we were getting ready to leave.

These are in backward order, but I couldn't be bothered to switch them all around. Anyway, this is the whole Windsor Castle complex. St. George's chapel is closest to me with the castle in the background. The queen was actually there the weekend we visited.
This is the original castle fortification built by William the Conquerer.
The rest of the castle grew up around this part.
This is just part of the fortification with the garden that used to be the moat.

Oxford

This is just inside Magdalene College. It was my favorite.


This is in the gardens of Magdalene College.
It was really beautiful there and the spring flowers were just starting to bloom.


I don't really remember which college this was, but I loved that tree.

Bath


This is the famous Royal Crescent in Bath. It's prime real estate.
I can just picture Jane Austen herself wandering along those sidewalks.

This is in the Pump Room where you can have a swig of the water for free. It's pretty nasty.


This is the main bath in the Roman Baths complex. The water is nice and warm, and green.

Here is a view of Bath Abbey from the Roman baths museum. All the buildings in the city are built with the same color stone, which makes it quite lovely.
