80 days In the UK

by WBlackwell on July 18, 2017

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

 

Wait, that wasn’t me.

 

If the following 300 photos makes your head want to explode, don’t be shocked.  It took days to compile so I didn’t get overwhelmed looking over the whole show.  There was so much to see and I saw so much of it!!

But what was me:

I have stood watch in a castle for and hour and not  a person entered.

 

Walked ruins where Roman soldiers once encamped 2000 years ago

I have seen whole cities at my sprawled beneath my feet

 

And statues that were moving, dramatic and funny

Saw giant and odd plants

 

And delicate, dramatic flowers and gardens

Heard roaring, cascading waterfalls

I have stood on and have seen bridges over rivers and bridges on ships

Walked above and below cliffs that were in TV shows

Saw birds and animals that were new to me, odd, rare and cool

Giant water horses and engineering marvels

Obelisks, towers, lighthouses and skyscrapers

 

Magnificent places of worship

Marveled at massive old growth whilst wandering on woodland paths

 

And can still recall the smells and sounds along divers waterways and shorelines.

Incredible works of art and artists

And not forgetting to look up

Leaving me exhausted

 

Grand buildings

Classic vehicles and modes of transport

Museums

 

I met nice, interesting people. And I have laughed with friends and cried because of hate.

But mostly laughed!

These photos being only about 10% of what are on the more than 100 posts from the trip.  I enjoyed it and hope others did too

And so I give this trip:

Met you in Brewdog Aberdeen a few weeks ago, been keeping an eye on your blog, looks like you’ve had a blast!
P.S love the Roy Batty quote, one of my favorite films. Hope the sequel doesn’t suck!
