Hadrians Wall, United Kingdom


A World Heritage Site, Hadrian's Wall (Vallum Aelium) was begun in AD 122 by Emperor Hadrian to protect Roman Britain from the tribes further North.
These photographs were taken at Housesteads Fort, a beautiful and lonely spot, much loved by visitors today.

Nice gallery. The overcast sky helps to convey the remoteness that Roman troops and their families must have felt as they keep a wary eye open for those less-friendly neighbors to the north.
