Title: View from Ivinghoe Beacon, England
Post by: Neil on May 17, 2007, 05:14:23 AM
I took these photos a year or so ago, when we went for a walk to the top of the Beacon and thought you may be intrested in seeing them...Nothing special but will hopefully bring back memories for Pat. Notice the Chalk Lion that was carved out on the hill side by Whipsnade zoo.

Neil, it's wonderful to see these!

Jack and I walked that very path!!!!!!

My goodness, what memories.  The day we did it, I had a sore toe on my right foot and I was taking a long time to walk and he kept on waiting for me and then said, "Honey, if you don't hurry up, I won't make it to St. Albans to preach tomorrow"!!! (It was a Saturday and he was preaching the next day.

You are making me homesick! 

These as usual are beautiful pictures!

I loved the little paths we walked while in Ireland and these photos remind of that time.

The chalk lion is great.

I just love the green in Europe.  But then, I love it in other parts of the US.

Blessings, Francine

Francine, I'm really looking forward to some nice green photos of the Auld Sod!

This is so fantastic to see--especially since my hubby and I walked that path! 

Now looking forward to seeing your Irish photos.

Pat, I'm anxious to add my photos from Ireland and Germany but I do have a quick question.  I know I am limited to the number of photos I can add to my album per day.  Is that the total limit of photos I can add.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not planning on flooding the site but I was just wondering.  And, do I add them to my album or just under the topic?

I do plan on reading up on info about this site but this would help a lot in how I upload photos.

Thanks much.

Blessings, Francine

God has so many beautiful places on this planet.  And these photos make it obvious.

The chalk lion has been there a long time - its use is to advertise the adjacent  zoo. I went to school just over the hill (not far from the white dot that you can see on the brow on the left)!

Jack and I did the Ridge Way hike when over there and it started at this spot.  Am I correct?

Yup, the ridgeway walk starts in the region of Ivinghoe Beacon.  Not done it myself - my wife has a medical condition that requires near proximity of a "ladies" at frequent intervals !
