The first one I thought that if you have the Oberon cover Avenue of Trees you may like it.




This one is for you HP fans out there.  This is in ChristChurch Cathedral in Oxford England where they filmed HP movies.



The Eiffel Tower



I love this one on the kindle, it looks great!  The lake at Kylemoore Abby in Connemara, Ireland.



This one is of an old library called the Messendon Temple at an old estate called Downhill on the coast of Northern Ireland, they are going to move it in the next few years because the cliff's edge is slowly creeping up on it. 



Last is a library in Oxford called Radcliffe Camera, it houses millions of books for the universities and goes many stories underground as well.

These are lovely--we're travelling to Ireland for the first time this fall, so those had special significance.  Thanks for posting!

Thanks to eveyone for all the compliments, sorry I have not responded back sooner to everyone.  I check KB's from work and for whatever reason pictures do not show up.  So I tend to check this area infrequently.  I don't have a computer (everyone gasps!)...I know, I know I should have one.  So the only time I really check this area of "town" out is if I use my parents computer. 

VictoriaP if you would like any advice for Ireland let me know as I am always happy to share.
