Weekend Away

My latest batch of captioned (and heavily geek-referenced) photos start here, but some of the highlights of the weekend in Dover / Tower of London are:



St. James's Church. It was shelled by France during the war and they left the remaining walls as a memorial. It was quite breathtaking and very good for my inexplicable fascination with doorways. This is my new desktop. I call it "Gateway to Narnia".

Secret Tunnel! No seriously, there are a network of tunnels under the castle that were used as secret wartime headquarters and only taken off the secret list in 1984. You can see part of them here.


The white cliffs, which are certainly white, and certainly cliffs. Shira gives some perspective. We climbed all the way up, wandered around, climbed all the way down, then back up the other side to get to...


"Dover Castle!"
"Dover Castle!"
"It's only a model."
"Shh!"








Yes, it is very much spring here. This is a hill at the Tower of London.
