Beautiful pictures everyone! Leau, you really live in a gorgeous area, and Au-Naturel, I knew West Virginia had some beautiful scenic areas and your pictures prove it! This is one of many buldings at Fort Worden Military Reservation in Washington State. Fort Worden is where the movie An Officer and a Gentleman with Richard Gere was filmed. You may recognize this building from the movie.

If you drive along every road sooner or later you see a gem amongst the pebbles, house wise.  This one's in Hendon, and the large window extends down another floor to a basement.

I went walkabout today to take some photos for the "Walls" theme - and took so many I can't decide which one to use, yet. This is less a wall than a building facade, that was preserved when the building collapsed as work was being done on it about twenty years ago. The original building dated to the nineteenth century.  Here's a link to a photo of the plaque giving the full story. I hope it's legible.

I agree, the pictures get better and better. There is only one place to have proper fish and chips in HK, so, Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you... today's lunch:

Lovely grub indeed, Ren. I wish I had some in front of me right now. Yummy! Here is a glimpse into the subway/metro station ( a 3 minutes walk from my home) that I use daily for going to work or other very important destinations  .

Congratulations Sue, and good to see your daughter. Here are some typical art deco houses in Hendon. At least the white one has the original windows.

It should be a criminal offence to fit modern windows in these superbly architectured houses; thank goodness some owners maintain the original character!
Here's the last in my series of images of last week-end's history re-enactment - a WWI German triplane. You can see all 120+ images I took at Festival-of-History

Congratulations to your daughter and son-in-law, Sue. I love the shots of West Virginia, Au_Naturel. This is the Old Mint House at Pevensey in Sussex. It’s now an antique shop.

Gnawra quite thought her birthday came early , as I gave her a lamb bone as big as her head today. I will add that I kept my eye on her and took it away towards the end, as I know that lamb bones could splinter and cause problems.

Thank you, I am glad you're enjoying them.
I wish I could say that this is the view from my front porch...
...but I don't have a front porch. 
Actually, this is the view from the lookout tower at Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park.
