A Photo a Week Challenge: Bucket List

Stonehenge

My husband and I recently returned from a two-week vacation to the U.K. We both have a lot of ancestors from England and Scotland (and Ireland, but that’s for another trip). Before we left, my hubby did a lot of family history research to find places that we should visit with family ties. Because of his research and the fact that he hadn’t been to Britain before, he found places he hadn’t realized were on his bucket list that became very important for him to visit and see (I think we made it to all of them). This was my second trip to the U.K., and I had a few of very specific places I wanted to go that I had missed the first time: Bath, Stonehenge, and the Scottish highlands. We made it to all three. Check, check, and check.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO OF ACCOMPLISHING A BUCKET LIST ITEM OR THAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE FUTURE.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
  2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
  3. Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
  4. Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Endurance

Tower of London from Execution HillThe Tower of London was built in 1066 AD. And while it has endured well over the centuries, I picked this picture because of the portion of Hadrian’s Wall (on the left of the picture). The wall was started in 122 AD and the parts of it that are still standing are some of the most visited tourist sites in Northern England.
