In quietness...
17 October 2005 (31)

Salisbury, UK

Taken on the correct day (and, therefore, on the same day as yesterday's shot, I'm afraid...):
in an attempt to show both the sublime and slightly ridiculous aspects of the same place -- Salisbury Cathedral.
(And because sorting out the aftermath of a road traffic accident is time-consuming and tiring.)

This is the northern wall of the cloisters....

Progressively more of the cathedral in this gallery:

Often revisited this picture, thinking it simply fantastic, but without anything to say. I decided that my speechlessness should not prevent you from knowing what I think. great, excellent shot, full of mood and atmosphere. I wonder how many years ago someone else saw the same scene as you did, and put up that plaque. because it fits perfectly.

Nice use of shadows. The image really creates a mood.
