Building was started in 1067 by Earl William fitz Osbern, close friend of William the Conqueror, making it one of the first Norman strongholds in Wales.

Shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and a Canon TS-E 17mm F/4 lens. Three exposures from a Tripod with Mirror Lock Up and Cable Release. This is one of the earliest Post Roman stone fortifications in the UK and construction began in the late 11th Century on the orders of William the Conqueror.
This is Salisbury Cathedral in Wiltshire England. The original Salisbury Cathedral was completed at Old Sarum in 1092 under Osmund, the first Bishop of Salisbury. In 1220 the foundations were laid for the Cathedral at the site it is today. The major construction work was completed in 1258 i.e. it took 38 years to build,
Avebury henge and stone circles are one of the greatest marvels of prehistoric Britain. Built and much altered during the Neolithic period, roughly between 2850 BC and 2200 BC, the henge survives as a huge circular bank and ditch, encircling an area that includes part of Avebury village. Within the henge is the largest stone circle in Britain - originally of about 100 stones - which in turn encloses two smaller stone circles.

Apologies but this was NOT shot with the lens shown. I used a Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L Mark II lens which is a Tilt & Shift lens. Cannot work out how to change the Zeiss entry.<br />

Oblique lighting through the stained glass windows casts an array of colurs on the wall of the Cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral, Gloucestershire, England.

The simple yet stunning design, often mistaken as modern, was a medieval solution (1338 - 1348) to sinking foundations.
Late evening walk back home from Tan Hill high on the North Wessex Downs, Wiltshire, England. This was the scene yesterday evening shot from the White Horse Trail looking down on the Vale of Pewsey. It has been really quite cold the last few days but the ridge of high pressure has given us wonderful late evening light. You can still see areas of frost on the ground behind hedges etc, from early morning.<br />
I do have Zeiss lenses but they are too heavy on a 2 hour hike, certainly at my age.<br />
Better viewed Full Size. This was shot from Roundway Down, Wiltshire, England. You are looking at what remains of the ancient hill fort know as Oliver's Castle. One can still see remains of a moat on the eastern side. It originally would have had a high wooden pallisade with a fighting platform running round the inside.
