This is the Old London Road near the tiny village of Towton near York. On Palm Sunday 1461, during a fierce blizzard, two massive armies fought in these fields for the Crown of England.
28 Thousand men died on the day and probably that same amount of their injuries during the following days. The Crown changed hands that day with the new King being Edward IV. The fields are pretty much as they were on that fateful day 560 years ago, nothing has changed. It is a sombre place.

Taken one morning at Knapps Narrows, a cut in Maryland that joins the Chesapeake Bay to the Choptank River. The bridge you see in the background, that connects people from the mainland to Tilghman Island, is the busiest drawbridge in the US.
Built between 1887–1890 in the 19th-century style of Renaissance Revival architecture, the Galleria Umberto I is a public shopping gallery in Naples, Italy. The design intended to integrate commercial shops and businesses with public and social use space, with private residence on the third floor.
