1. Beautiful pictures...

As an atheist, I never bother with churches. For obvious reasons.

But I certainly admire the architecture. That church is stunning.

2. Those are the UK skies I remember.

On clear, cloudless, warm sunny days, people would be walking around looking like they had just fallen in love.

10. It was so hot when I arrived.

Now back to cloudy, cool, and rainy.

3. You got there just in time!

Do you have a work visa? Any problems being allowed in?

5. No problems being allowed in, I just had to quarantine.

I anticipate more problems leaving next week. I came to hunt for an apartment and then I'll return to the US to start the Fall semester teaching (which is going to be a shitshow). Then I'll be back here by November to work on my LLM.
I wish I didn't have to go, but I can't apply for the visa from here.

4. I visited there 60 years ago. It hasn't changed a bit. The cars are newer.

Nice photos.

6. Nice photos!

I went to the University of Essex in 1990-91. The High Street looks great. Haven't been back since 1991.

Thanks for posting!

You have found one of the friendliest groups here: the Photo Group! Hope you'll stick around and see what cool things we get up to.

12. I was in Colchester Connecticut USA,

if that is any help.

13. I just turned green.

The envy is pouring out of my body and onto my skin.


Those pictures are absolutely stunning. And I'm not kidding, I wish I were there instead of where I am.

Have fun for all of us!

14. Beautiful

My wife and I have been lucky enough to circumnavigate the British Isles by rent car several times for as long as five weeks. It is one of our favorite driving tours along with Provence Tuscany. We were actually scheduled to fly to the UK in April, but.....maybe again someday. The closest we made it to Colchester would be Bury St Edmunds, but we have added it to our list for the future. Thank you. Good luck, stay safe, stay well. Cheers!

15. Thanks all!

It's easy when you have a good canvas. Unfortunately, the typical English weather is back: cloudy, cool, and misty.
I have to return to West Virginia next week, where it will be hotter than the surface of the sun, humid, and with mosquitos the size of bald eagles. I'm not looking forward.

16. Wow @

Marvelous pictures!

17. Just beautiful.

18. Great stuff! I will look up that church for date and construction. Very cool.

19. I think it's St. James the Less and St. Helen.

But I'm not 100% sure
