Dawn's Journal

Reculver

Speak softly, but it's a Bank Holiday weekend and the sun is shining. So I bundled Mum into the car and we headed off to the coast. 

The 12th century twin towers at Reculver are part of a medieval church built on the site of one of the earliest Roman forts built against Saxon raids on the 'Saxon Shore'. An Anglo-Saxon monastery occulpied the site later, before becoming the parish church for Reculver. The tall towers were built in a remodelling of the church in the 12th century.  The church was abandoned as coastal erosion took its toll, but the towers remain as an aid to navigation.

I experiemented with my fisheye lens, and had another play with the new filter (extras). All in all, a lovely relaxing and satisfying day.
