Weekly Photo Challenge ‘Sun’
20th April 2012
Sun!!!
The three pictures are entrance door way into Battle Abbey/Battlefield. East Sussex.
Battle Abbey was founded to commemorate the battle, and dedicated in 1095. The high altar of the Abbey church was reputedly on the spot where Harold died. The Abbey gateway is still the dominant feature of the south end of the main street, although little remains of the rest of the Abbey buildings. The remaining cloisters, part of the west range, were leased to Battle Abbey School shortly after World War I, and the school remains in occupancy to this day.
The abbey at Battle has been known for centuries as Battle Abbey. It and the abbey church were initially dedicated to Saint Martin, sometimes known as “the Apostle of the Gauls”, and named in his honour.

formerly known as
I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

Thanks Amar, always welcome,, thank you. 😉
great shots, gerry! and i love the mini history lesson that comes with it! 😀
Glad you like it, some times a little means a great deal. I never know whether to put to much writing on these photo blogs. thank you, always welcome.. 😉
I could look at pictures like this all day. I love reading historical fiction and it’s really cool to actually see the castles and battlefields. I suppose the battlefields themselves aren’t too exciting to photograph though?
Thank you for stopping by, and yes battlefields nowadays are just grasslands with notices of history on them. But can be fun to read though. Castles are always good to photograph, can look so different and varying times and angles…welcomed..;)
What great photos. I love those British castles. 😉
