This site is for potential tourists who wish to plan what to see and visit before their real journey around England begins. It's for ex-pats who become homesick or anyone who is away from our beloved country, misses it and wishes to journey back with our pictures and all their dreams. It's for people who wish to show others where they have been to, where they are going, or where they are from. It is for children and adults alike to learn from. It's for brave servicemen who were here during the world wars and wish to visit one more time, even from afar. It's for researchers and history lovers worldwide. Its for people of today and people of tomorrow to explore and enjoy England from and appreciate what we had once, what we still have today and what we will have in the future if we look after it. PicturesOfEngland.com is for anyone anywhere in the world who wishes to see, explore and learn about beautiful England. |

For me it has been about making friends - people who I would never have got to know if it wasn't for this site, sharing my love of photography and Britain and escape from all the hard time in the real world. It has helped me get through a very hard couple of years. |

And, Michael, I would add POE is for foreigners like me who appreciate the beauty and history of the British Isles, but have little or no time to spend there. It's a feast for the eyes with every click. |
