Guildford Castle

Guildford Castle is located in Guildford, Surrey, England.

It is thought to have been built shortly after the 1066 invasion of England by William the Conqueror.

The castle was mainly used as a royal residence but it was also a fortress and did play a part in warfare although the Castle itself was never attacked.

The following photos were part of a visit from my wife's family during the summer.

Vila Conde - Flower Rugs

The "Procession of the Flower Rugs" is an event that happens in Vila do Conde, a city in the north of Portugal and takes place every four years.

The tradition consists in covering the old core of Vila do Conde with flower carpets happens every four years.

Residents of the old village defoliate tons of flowers, in an arduous task that ends only in the day of the Body of God.

These are some photos we took using our mobiles... So please, forgive me the low quality...
