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.

Summer memories – Buckler’s Hard, New Forest East, Hampshire, UK

Buckler’s Hard is a hamlet on the banks of the Beaulieu River in the English county of Hampshire. With its Georgian cottages running down to the river, Buckler’s Hard is part of the 9,000-acre Beaulieu Estate. The hamlet is some 2.5 miles south of the village of Beaulieu. Wikipedia

We took the trip to this amazing place last summer, and I loved the scenery. We were walking down the village passing well-uniformed cottages saluting on both sides of the village. Some of the cottages were transformed into small museums, which you shouldn’t miss visiting.

The atmosphere inside these museums is stunning. You will hear people talking in the background which will draw you back to the 18th century. Men chatting in the Inn, baby crying in the crib, parents having a discussion about their kids, and so much more. I was impressed by the details you will see in the pictures below. The composition of the characters, food, and daily items. I just felt I want to stay and listen and look and enjoy the moment, but our two little ones had different plans 😏
Since we promised them a boat ride, it was time to move on and keep the promise.
Finishing our little trip with an ice cream treat, I do believe, everyone was satisfied.
