FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY! - Ancient Walls

Taken November 5, 2024

In Northwest England, Chester sits overlooking the River Dee. Founded by Romans in 79 AD, the town is famous for its walls rising from the stone and circling the city core. Succeeding waves of empires, conquerors, and kings tended to, expanded, and restored the stoneworks, which today are some of the best preserved in the country. You can spend an afternoon walking along the parapets, weaving in and among modern parking garages, ancient cathedrals, Starbucks, decaying castles, and office buildings.

About “Five Picture Friday”

Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on an interesting location. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!
