Please feel free to add some photo\'s of the part of the world whare you live. Many people have been interested in some of the photo\'s that some of us have put in other threads, this will leave one place for them. Should be easier when someone wants to find some.

These are two of the pictures that I have taken of Bridgs in New England. The States that make up the New England area are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

First is the Cribstone Bridge, which connects Bailey\'s and Orres Islands in Maine. This is in the Mid Coast region of Maine. Maine is the extrime North East of States in the US. It seems as though every time I get to Bailey\'s Island it is foggy out.



The Cornwall Bridge is over the Housatonic River in Western part of Connecticut. It connects the towns on Cornwall and Sharon, Connecticut. This is about 25 miles west of where I live. This is one of my photo\'s, and someone whare I used to work did the photo shop work on it. I had this on the main page of my web site for a while. Connecticut is the most Southwest of the 6 New England States.



Below is a map from CNN showing whare the New England States are in the US.

this is the first time I\'ve used photobucket. I hope I do this right.

I also hope these pics are not too big. These are pictures of the area near town, but not my town itself.

Here is a map of my town. Take notes because there will be a test later.

I have lived in the medieval cathedral city of SALISBURY all my life

Originally a iron age hill fort called OLD SARUM (OLD SALISBURY)
This is a massive site (56 acres), nearly a mile in circumference and surrounded by a defensive ditch, which was originally an Iron Age hill fort. The settlement became increasingly important until by the 12th century it had become a thriving medieval city called Vetus Saresberie. During the Roman occupation many Roman roads met at the fortress, the Saxons added a royal mint, and a royal castle was built by the Normans. The first cathedral was built here between 1075 and 1092, but it was struck by lightning and badly damaged a few days after completion. A second cathedral was built by about 1130. However, the bleak, windswept location and the frequent squabbles between the clergy and the garrison prompted Bishop Poore to ask the Pope for permission to move the Cathedral. The Pope agreed and work began on the new Cathedral in 1220. Old Sarum was completely abandoned by 1540. Today you can see the ruins of the Norman castle, cathedral and Bishop’s Palace. There are excellent views from the ruins.

The Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary was consecrated in 1258. The soaring spire was begun some time later and completed c.1315. It reaches to 404 feet and is the highest in England. This architectural gem where people have worshipped God for over 700 years, has an enduring grace and spirituality. Inside you can see inspiring stained-glass windows, monuments and memorials, the oldest cloisters in any English cathedral and the earliest working clock in England (c.1386). The Chapter House was built between 1263 and 1284 and contains many treasures including a 13th century frieze, a fan-vaulted ceiling, and one of the four original Magna Carta documents.

Just a few miles from SALISBURY is the prehistoric site of STONEHENGE
The great and ancient stone circle of Stonehenge is one of the wonders of the world. What visitors see today are the substantial remnants of the last in a sequence of such monuments erected between circa 3000BC and 1600BC. Each monument was a circular structure, aligned with the rising of the sun at the midsummer solstice.
There has always been intense debate over quite what purpose Stonehenge served. Certainly, it was the focal point in a landscape filled with prehistoric ceremonial structures. It also represented an enormous investment of labour and time. A huge effort and great organisation was needed to carry the stones tens, and sometimes hundreds, of miles by land and water and then to shape and raise them. Only a sophisticated society could have mustered so large a workforce and the design and construction skills necessary to produce Stonehenge and its surrounding monuments.
Stonehenge\'s orientation in relation to the rising and setting sun has always been one of its most remarkable features. Whether this was because its builders came from a sun-worshipping culture or because - as some scholars have asserted - the circle and its banks were part of a huge astronomical calendar, remains a mystery. What cannot be denied is the ingenuity of the builders of Stonehenge. With only very basic tools at their disposal, they shaped the stones and formed the mortises and tenons that linked uprights to lintels. Using antlers and bones, they dug the pits to hold the stones and made the banks and ditches that enclosed them.




Woodhenge lies about 3km (2 miles) to the north-east of Stonehenge. Built in about 2300 BC, it consisted of six concentric oval rings of posts surrounded by a circular bank and ditch, with an entrance gap in the north-north-east side. Inside the henge was the grave of a child whose skull had been split before burial - possibly a human sacrifice. The structure may have been roofed, with an open light well in the centre. Woodhenge was probably a temple, a tribal meeting-place or a combination of both



And only 25 miles from Stonehenge is AVEBURY stone circle which is large enough to hold a village within its ring ditch

these are just some of the many interesting places that I have the privilege of living near
hope you enjoy the pics and facts
I may post some more at a later date of different places

sorry about the edits couldnt get it to work lol

I liked tha way he had all 4 legs over the side of the cut off phone pole.
It was close to 100 F (40C) when this was taken.

Here\'s a few contrasting pics from where I live, Morecambe in the NW of England.

The ruined chapel is reputed to have been built by St. Patrick on his way over to Ireland, but like most tales, it\'s just an urban myth. The statue is of Eric Morecambe, one half of the funniest comedy double act in the UK.(that\'s just my opinion)

The other photos show St Peters Church in Heysham Village, evidence of Viking settlements can be seen here, the others are of Morecambe promenade and the road to Sunderland Point, once one of the busiest ports in the NW of England in the 18th Century.
