England
Finally, a mere three months after our return from Europe, this photo journey is coming to an end. And there was much rejoicing.
There weren't as many quality pictures at this point in the trip, as we were getting weary of being shutterbugs and just weary in general. There's especially a distinct lack of much from London, but we were only effectively there for about a day and a half.
Here's the shores by Tintagel, the reputed birthplace of King Arthur. There's all kinds of legends around this area. Cool.
Here's the view from the Glastonbury Tor. Lovely.
And here's the Tor itself, with the ruins of St. Michael's Church at the top. When King Henry VIII dissolved the monastaries during the English Reformation, the local abbot was hung here for refusing to turn over the abbey to the king.
You are looking at an architectural marvel known as the scissor arch in Wells Cathedral.
Here's lovely downtown Winchester. It's a smallish city with lots of charm.
Let me tell you, the Guinness assuredly tastes better in England.
Here's an impressive root system at Avebury.
London's famous Millennium Bridge across the Thames.
We wound up spending our last night in Europe at Heathrow Airport. Luckily, our camping gear made what could have been a pretty crappy night OK!
Thus ends the Matt and Jac Europe 2006 photo extravaganza!
