      "Rail bridge in Scotland" The best photo I ever saw... The bridge seems to be a "natural" detail in this landscape photo. Superb!

      The city of Bath, definitely. The setting for so many of my favourite historical novels.

      Great Competition - Jason Hawkes is incredible! The winner will have a difficult choice, as the pictures are all stunning...however there are a few standouts for me, Rail Bridge in Scotland and Tower Bridge in London. I just realised I seem to have a thing for bridges...

      Eileen Donan castle is an amazing photo, I'd pick this one or Urqhart castle - both are stunning photos, but I think the Eileen Donan is the better of the two.

      The Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland is stunning, this or The Rail Bridge would be my fav. Although all 8 are beautiful. The last steps my aunty took were in Scotland before she has to fly home to Australia where a short 4 weeks later she passed away from Breast Cancer! She told me it was majestic. One day I will get there.
