It had been several years since I last visited the United Kingdom. The landscape and the British penchant for appreciating and preserving the time-honored had already inspired me back then. Greenery as far as the eye can see, architecture as if time had stood still – there really is no shortage of rewarding photo opportunities.
So I took my birthday week as an opportunity to go on a short trip. But it wasn’t just photography that I had planned to do. A rental car was my means of transportation of choice, and so I had to face the challenge of driving on the left. As chance would have it, two concerts by esteemed artists coincided with this week and my great enthusiasm for the music of a singer-songwriter from the late 60s and early 70s and the desire to visit his hometown resulted in a multi-faceted five-day tour.
