RDP Friday: When War Roared and Sirens Sounded

Today’s prompt from Martha is Fierce, which usually comes with extreme behaviour in either a good, but mostly in a bad way. World War II was full of aggressive behaviour, but also fierce bravery. Below is the Anderson Shelter that was provided during this difficult and fierce period for people in the UK.

Monochrome Madness – A different Wheel

This week, Leanne is prompting us with a free choice topic for Monochrome Madness, but her choice is a carousel, and I also saw a photo of a SkyWheel, so I decided to go in a similar direction with the King Arthur Round Table displayed in Winchester Great Hall

Tiny doors and big doors

For today’s Thursday Doors – No Facilities weekly challenge by Dan, I chose the below ones.

I really love visiting model villages in the UK with their tiny buildings, and peak inside the houses. Our last visit to The Model Village — The Old New Inn was great and below is one of the photos of the houses you can find there.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Churches

Thank you, Dan, for this weeks prompt a great photo selection.

I visited the Winchester Cathedral at a few occasions, and it still amazes me, how huge this building is with all the hidden treasures inside. All the detailed carvings are breath taking. Winchester Cathedral is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe and the longest in overall length.
