U.K. Trip Photos

 

April 2003

These are photographs I took during a trip to the U.K. early in 2003 — including London, Salisbury (and environs), and North Wales.

 

They represent about 20% of the total number of photos I took, with an emphasis on creative composition rather than just documentation (because this was our third trip to the U.K. in as many years).

The focus of the Wales portion of the trip was the "Iron Ring" of castles built or renovated by Edward I.
 

Enjoy!
