William and Harry sat underneath a tree....

.....in 1066. Harry died. William won. The tree was well over a 1000 years old then. It is well over 2000 years old now.

@ Battle in Hastings

Gotta love an ancient tree

1. Wow, Soph! GREAT photos.

Keep 'em coming, OK?

[Soph0571]

2. Thanks!

Love, I have plenty..... I am a history and photography tart! The place I used to post shut down and I think in DU I have found a new home for my progressive heart and my love of photography. I live in England and love the old parts of this land. Tomorrow I plan to share a very crumbly and ancient sacked abbey. I also have to get my old photo crew over here - you would be amazed at what they can do.

4. I thought that you had to live in England! Your choice of photographic objects gave you away!

My husband and I have been there a couple of times and just love it. So beautiful and green! So full of history.

I'm looking forward to your photos tomorrow!

6. Thanks Peggy

Expect lots of old over the years. Generally speaking old architecture. My poor SO has to drive me all over the land so I can visit ruins to photograph. He is very patient with me!!! LOL

7. I expect he respects and enjoys your work! I do too!

9. He does

And thank you. I am still trying to understand this site, I will get there but after a decade on a previous site which really rocked means a lot of adjustment and it is really lovely to see whatever else changes - people who love photography - just love photography! Marvellous

5. Soph takes a bow

Thank you - I am amateur at best - but I LOVE taking photo's of old shit. Other than being a boring old advocate for justice in everything, this is my thing!

8. It's wonderful!

I love taking photos of nature, amateur indeed, AND even prior, advocate for justice, went so far as law school+.

10. I am a lawyer- trained but not practising

I refuse to work in a system which produces factory lines of billable hours. I do worthier shit than that.
