RHH's photos

When we were in England last summer for a conference we arrived almost a whole day early and after visiting the city of Shrewsbury, went on to hike in the Shropshire Hills. We hiked in Carding Mill Valley and had a pleasant day there, though a lot of people were out.

This is Shrewsbury Abbey, which we visited while in England for a conference. We had a day to ourselves and spent the day in Shrewsbury and the Shropshire Hills.

Taken inside Shrewsbury Abbey, this is the tomb of Sir Arthur Onslow, Speaker of the House of Commons during the reign of Queen Anne.

Before traveling to Normandy we were in England for a week for a conference. The conference was in Shropshire and we spent a day before the conference in Shrewsbury and in the Shropshire Hills. I had long wanted to visit Shropshire to see the abbey and the castle after reading the Cadfael Chronicless of Ellis Peters, set in Shrewsbury in the 12th century during the Anarchy and featuring a monk at the abbey, Brother Cadfael. This photo was taken from the castle walls, from Laura's Tower, and overlooks part of the town of Shrewsbury and the River Severn.

Before going to France we were in England for a week for a conference in Shropshire. We had a day before the conference and spent it in Shrewbury and in the Shropshire Hills. This photo was taken at the Castle Gates in Shrewsbury.

This is the last photo I'll be posting from our trip to Normandy, this from the Sorcerer's Cave at Pointe de la Courtine looking east at sunset toward La Pertuiser and beyond to the arch and needle of La Manneporte.

These are the last photos from France that I'll be posting, this from the Sorcerer's Cave at Pointe de la Courtine looking west over the Plage des Tilleuls.

This photo was taken from west of Etretat and looks east to the cliffs beyond Etretat, this promontory and arch known as Porte d'Amont. We were hiking the cliffs west of Etretat from the town to the Antifer Lighthouse. This is almost the last of my photos from France and before the week ends I'll be going on to other things.

This was taken just west of Etretat on the cliffs above Port d'Aval.
