A Cathedral Walk

-
During my lunch (half) hour one day last week. 
I walked through the neighbouring Cathedral precincts. 
 luckily I had my phone with me. 
I shall have to try and take my camera next time!

Carlisle Cathedral- East elevation

West view
The Fratery

East Elevation

Cathedral Entrance

THEN today I wondered through with my camera proper!
Did it make any differences?





Elvis is in the garden!

    I was impressed by the phone photos. I couldn't tell the difference but then I'm not a photographer! How do you get phone photos on to the net?

    The pictures are just great! Love them all.
    There's something about benches that appeals..... music or no music!
    Great place to visit.

    The very first picture caught my eye immediately...there's something about the veil of oddly glimmering light that entranced me. Lovely shots, either way...phone or camera...but still, the first is my favorite!

    These building fascinate me. I always start thinking about the men that would have built them.

    ALL good shots, "true" camera or otherwise. I love old churches, cathedrals, etc. They just grab and hold onto my soul.

    Yes, it made a difference but I do love a good sunglare, no matter which camera it's from. Always overwhelmed with what you can see on any given day. Not so much here...at least not in the same order.

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
