Asbury Casino Mike Crelin image Pevensey Castle Adam Gormley image This very historical site in Southern England, is where Duke William II of Normandy (William the Conqueror) landed in September 1066. The English had abandoned the castle prior to the landing, so it was easily taken over by the Norman troops. From here, they moved east to Hastings, where the famous battle took place on the 14th October 1066. William and his army defeated the English, killing Harold II, King of England. The original site where Pevensey Castle is today, was believed first built by the Romans in the first century AD. The surrounding walls to the castle are full of traditional Roman building structure. Once called Anderitum, was a Saxon Shore Fort in the Roman province of Britannia. Pevensey, East Sussex, England. Battle Abbey - Novices' Quarters Adam Gormley image On 14 October 1066 an army of invading Normans led by William the Conqueror, defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex. William vowed to build an abbey where the Battle of Hastings had taken place, and some of the original building still survives. the rest of the abbey was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII. This image is of the Novices' Quarters, this is where the monk novices met. Town of Battle in East Sussex, England. A Cold Winter Solstice Adam Gormley image Probably the highlight of my UK trip, getting up long before sunrise, and driving to the stones. I arrived about 2 hours before the sunrise to ensure a carpark. It was free for all street parking, and I knew it was going to be crouded! I was only about a mile walk, and when I arrived at the gates, the atmosphere was amazing. 100's of druids playing drums and flutes. Getting louder and louder waiting for the heritage to open the gates. Finaly the flood of people was released, and they slowely made their way to the centre of the stones. This walk will stay with me forever... The heavy fog, the light morning light making the fog glow blue, and the snow covered ground.. it was fantastic! Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England. St. George's Chapel - Windsor Castle Adam Gormley image The St. George's Chapel is the place of worship for the Windsor Castle, and is the chapel of the Order of the Garter. This chapel is loaded with history, and it breathtaking on the inside. Unfortunately photography is not permitted inside, so I only have memories. I highly recommend the tour of Windsor Castle and the Chapel if visiting the UK. The burials here go way back in history, from King Edward IV in 1483! St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, Windsor, England.

It barely stands just offshore the main Key, and is often jokingly called "The Honeymoon Cottage." Other nicknames have been the "House on Stilts" and "Shark Tooth School" (or "Shoal") by author Col. George Walton who, intending to stay only a weekend at the Island Hotel, instead spent years living in the Guest House during the mid 1970s. The house was built in 1959 by Henry Taylor for Philip and Margaret Thomas at the end of a 300-foot boardwalk. At the time, they owned the large Thomas Hotel in Gainesville. During the research of this book, one living relative declared that Mr. Taylor was never fully compensated for his work, while a local told of how she often played with the Thomas children on the cottage's floor. It and it's boardwalk were partially destroyed by Hurricane Elena on Labor Day, 1985. Subsequent storms created the condition in which the Honeymoon Cottage now sits.
