Cathedral Lights

Lights in the Cloisters in Salisbury Cathedral.

There are lots of these towers.  They are made of 2l lemonade plastic bottles filled with water and lit by fibre optic lighting.

This is a video of photos taken on St Pancras Station.  These are from the base plinth of the very large statue of a couple kissing.

Boat Race Day

I judged a photographic exhibition today and the one thing that was clear was that there are now more entries that are purely digital than film derived. It also meant that there were more entries overall. This in turn meant that it took me longer than normal to write notes for each entry. On these notes I try to get the entrants to understand how to take better photos and better presentation. The quality of entries does seem to have improved over the years.
It was raining when I left the judging and so I just dashed into the churchyard and took 2 snaps. The first was of these new graves bright and cheery with spring flowers but also rather sad.
The second one was the rather curious pigeon permanently perched on a headstone. What is it trying to eat.

A couple of Grotesque stone carvings that I found on an old building in Harnham [OLD SCHOOL, 2 NETHERHAMPTON ROAD]. This building is listed as Grade 2 by English Heritage. See HERE for more details and a photograph.
They are described as dogs in the listing!

A BIG day today. I was up and off early [i.e. 8.10 am] and walked to the station to catch the 8.45 to Waterloo and then on to St Pancras and then walk to Greys Inn Road for a meeting. The meeting was for Subject Co-ordinators for which I represent the Photography part.
Anyway it was a grand opportunity to take a few photos in the refurbished St Pancras station. What a superb place it is now. International trains leave from here now. The platforms for these trains are behind the glass panels behind the man admiring the Sir John Betjeman statue.
