Sandy Hook Lighthouse was designed and built in 1764. It is the oldest standing and operating Lighthouse in the United States. If you look carefully you can detect the yellow light at the top. Helen, I didn't realize this lighthouse is still operating. It seems to be in great condition. Great finding! |

Dedicated in 1755, Mission Concepción appears very much as it did over 265 years ago. It is the oldest unrestored stone church in America. Back in the day, colorful geometric designs covered the outside surfaces, but the patterns have long since faded or worn away. Original frescos are still visible on the inside in several of the rooms. kdcintx, I love these old Spanish missions. They have such intricate architectural details and . . . so much history. If these walls could talk! |

Corfe Castle is a village and civil parish in the English county of Dorset. One of my favourite castles to visit as I have a brother who lives not too far away - would have been there this year but things changed  Have quite a few pics but never one from that viewpoint - great shot - where was it taken from?

One of my favourite castles to visit as I have a brother who lives not too far away - would have been there this year but things changed Have quite a few pics but never one from that viewpoint - great shot - where was it taken from? Tony Wife & I've have had holidays and day trips virtually every year in Swanage and as far back as our teenage years, We had a weeks holiday there back in September. Driving towards Swanage from Corfe just before you get to the 'Welcome To Swanage', on your right take the B3069 and after a short distance you will start to see Corfe Castle, look out for an opening on your right your see the wall turn into the entrance or park on the left, then from there continue to drive to the village and turn right with Scott Arms pub on your left, stop off for a pint and take your camera with you, the pub garden has most beautiful views off Corfe Castle. |
