Chichester Cathedral
We took a train trip to Chichester and visited the cathedral. Postcard-style photographs follow:
Salisbury Cathedral
After our 6½-mile walk, we had lunch at a pub and proceeded through the Harnham Water Meadows (shown in previous posts) to the Salisbury Cathedral. Lots of postcard-type images inside the cathedral, below (click any of the images to see them full-sized – if you’re seeing this on the web, not in email).
Lord of Things
Michel Medinger creates still life images from constructions of objects he has collected. Learn more about this show here.
Criminal Reflections
A window in a chapel at the Farnham Cemetery with a beautiful flower, a warning, and my reflection.
Winchester Cathedral
A few more images to give a sense of the magnificent scale of the place. Click on any of the images below to see them full size.
Winchester Cathedral
Near the end of December we visited Winchester Cathedral on a rainy day. Click any of the images to see them full-size.
Farnham Castle
While we have been round the castle keep several times, the palace itself is only open for touring on Wednesdays. We finally took the £5 tour which was quite interesting, covering the long history of the castle and its occupants and architecture. Naturally, I took a bunch of pictures along the way.

Golden Cap, continued
As a lifetime urbanite, the idea that one can simply take a walk in the country and encounter sheep and cows up close and personal is a bit thrilling. We walked among the cows, being careful not to startle them. See last post for more details of this walk – click any image to see them all enlarged.
Postcard from Canterbury Cathedral
Canterbury Cathedral is the seat of the Church of England and dates back to the conversion of the King of Kent by St Augustine and his missionaries in 597 CE. Impossible to miss on the skyline around the town and hard not to want to photograph, even if one could more easily just buy postcards. Click any image to see them all full sized.
