Some places that people should visit to understand wonder and beauty of the planet.

The world is so full of wonders, here are some that I have seen mainly in the U.K . they are pictures from all over, including my local park where I live, to world Heritage sites such as the Jurassic Coast Line in Dorset and Devon, please enjoy.

Japan has a blossom time, people travel from around the world to see it. I think some should to come here to see our wonderful displays! 

The above pictures were taken April 2014 in Mayesbrook Park U.K. Spring turning to Summer grand display of nature in colour.

Below the Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green Much Hadham Hertfordshire, where his sculptures can be seen in the open air, a great place to visit for the day to see art and nature as he intended his works to be seen.

Sheep wander and shelter beneath priceless works of art.

These are only a few of his works, you will not have a better day out, especially if the sun shines.

Or walk away your blues in our fabulous countryside.

Looking north 

 Walk the South Downs Way a 100 mile footpath from Winchester in the West to Eastbourne in the East. These two photos taken not far from Brighton on the south coast.

Looking East.

Although I know that Stone Henge is a great site to visit, however to be over awed also go to Avebury stone circle, believed to date back to 2500 BC circle and henge are huge and impressive.

This site is in Wiltshire not far from Stone henge and Silbury Hill it was used for at least a thousand years, for various uses and was  built to impress, which it does even to this day.

Down on the Dorset coast is the World Heritage site known as the Jurassic Coast, where thousands of fossil's have been found the rocks date back 185million years, it is spread along 95miles of coastline taking in Devon and Dorset.

Durdle Door a lime stone arch at West Lulworth a fascinating site. 

sun sets on the Jurassic coast line.

Clouds Hill the home of T.E.Lawrence or as he is more widely known Lawrence of Arabia.

 He lived a very strange and incredible life, the government were quick use his hero image, that of riding across the desert sand-dunes, but dropped him pretty quick when he was outspoken about the Arabs having their own independence. On reflection this would have saved us a whole bunch of trouble, that we now have.  

The above effigy is not found in Westminster Abbey but in a tiny little church called St Martins Church, in the village of Wareham. 

He had an incredible army and airforce service, but in later years turned to writing, one of his most famous novel is "Seven Pillars of Wisdom"

Lawrence [which was not his real name] survived the first world war only to die in strange and not quite explained motor cycle accident.  

He was great friends with George bernard Shaw, Edward Elgar, Robert Graves, E.M Foster, Noel,Coward and many more.

Or visit the village they never gave back, also in Dorset.

The whole village church, schoolroom, houses, pub were taken over by the military to practise manoeuvres of the second world war, but was never given back to the villagers after the war. You can visit the ghost village on days when no tanks are charging around.

The history of those, who once happily lived here have in these homes, have plaques to them. But that was no compensation for being turfed out of their homes!
