Kirsten Hines' exploration of Nature in England series continues, this week with a stop at Titchwell Marsh where, of all things, a common robin captures her attention.

Jonathan L takes us to a small art museum with a large collection in Norfolk VA

A look at the tower of the Blickling Estate, Norfolk.

At first glance of those buildings I thought you were in farming country in the North East States. Lancaster PA or Maryland. I enjoy comparing US architecture with its old world origins. Buildings in East Anglia (UK) have a likeness to Dutch and German buildings. Which is just across the North Sea.

It's also fun and interesting to read an area's industrial history from its buildings. The projection above the windows, easily matched elsewhere, is the clue to large-scale milling—a way to lift sizable loads to the top to allow gravity to play a role in processing. As Garry points out, there are similarities to buildings used for similar purpose everywhere!

Milling used wind power where I live in Liverpool UK. This example about 2 miles away lost its sails 100 years ago when electricity was the new marvel ! CROSBY WINDMILL

Thanks Jonathan for this blog. I live in Virginia and was unaware of this place. Will definitely add to my future travel agenda.

Glad you liked it. I love blogs that show me someplace near me that I didn't know about.

Beautiful photos!!
