England - Bath, Lacock and Stonehenge

This article is dedicated to our tour of historic Bath, Lacock and surreal Stonehenge during our maiden trip to England in June 2005. Naturally, one would think the highlight would be the mysterious stones but we were pleasantly surprised at what Bath and Lacock had to offer. We hope you'll enjoy the photo highlights here. Do drop a note before you leave; we look forward to reading your comments! To view our complete travelogue, please click: http://www.worldisround.com/home/dimsim/index.html?

Great Pics!
Finally was able to look at your pics and they are great! I wish I would have had sun while I was there at Stonehenge. I also took a pic of the rocks close up with the moss growing but in mine they were slimey green.

Each picture is truly a masterpiece. You've brought to life for me some distant memories of one of England's lovliest corners.

Hi David and Angie, I have a nice time admiring your photos. In fact, I went through them twice so that I will not miss out anything, especially the well-thought out captions and also to learn some photographic gems from you. I like especially the close-up shots of flowers, stones, windows, walls, rugged cross and not forgetting the cute LaCock cats. I also like the angles that you take, very unconventional for some shots. I can cetainly learn a thing or two from you. Thanks for the commentary. Very educational and insightful. I will certainly pay the places you visited one day.
