Description
Hadrian's Wall near Housesteads Roman Fort in Northumberland, North East England. Hadrian's Wall was built by the Romans to mark a dividing line between their land and the land of the Picts. In today's parlance we would think of it as England and Scotland.Βwww.english-heritage.org.uk/viβ¦

Love this shot. When I drove along Hadrian's Wall in winter it was foggy and snowy. I love the way the wall undulates with the landscape.Β

Ever seen Blackadder Back and Forth? Β There's a very funny scene that reveals the truth about Hadrian's Wall, that it was in fact always the height we see today.

Not that the Romans could take any advantage from it.
I live near the Limes they builed up in Germany. It was the same result

It worked for a while but in the end it is just a wall
And the Romans leftΒ

Oh this is great! My dream is to visit Vindolanda one day.Maybe if we manage to move to Scotland...

Vindolanda is incredible
I've never really got a good picture there but it's more about being there in all that history
Life isn't all about photography after all 
The tablets are just stunning
