Holiday in Norfolk: well, visiting Ely in fact.

Before leaving East Anglia entirely
I tool the opportunity of dropping in
on Ely to revisit the cathedral

whose two highlights (for me at least)
are the cental tower and its internal
"Octogon", and the remaining pieces of
stone carving (having survived the Reformation)
in the Lady Chapel

Unusually I was able to get a view up
to the Octogon from a directly central position.
Normally this is occupied by an altar but this
had been moved for a "Rave in the Nave"
youth service.

This next shot I took on a "fireworks" setting.
I like the effect, don't you?

What's going on in this shot? Answers on
a postcard please....





A "Green Man"

and another one...



Finally, I could not resist this amusing
composition (no disrespect to the bishop!)
