After many visits over the years to Lavenham Suffolk I have managed to get a photograph of  the Market Cross without the obligatory parked car in front of it or beside it. Normally the Market Square is one big car park. Image taken using TSE Canon tilt and shift 24mm lens.
This historic medieval wool town prospered during 15th and 16th Century and was famous for Lavenham blue broadcloth. The town is full of half timbered houses and is a main tourist place. Well worth a visit.

Colchester Castle Image © Robert Clare 2008 All Rights Reserved

Out for a Morning stroll in Colchester Essex Castle Park on Mothering Sunday. Image captured with a Canon 5D Camera and a 17 to 40mm f4 lens. Daffodil blooms more sparsely spread than in previous years. The Daffodil is also known as the Lent lily.

Colchester claims to be Britain's oldest recorded town. The Romans called it Camulodunum. Boudicca (Boadicea) the Queen of the Iceni defeated the Romans here and burnt the temple dedicated to Claudius the Roman Emperor.

The Normans built this Castle on top of the remains of the temple between 1069 and 1076. The Castle contains an excellent award winning Museum which is great fun for all the family.
