Chichester

Mural / Window

I liked how the red car, the blue sky, and the white wall outside reflected the mural inside.

“The American cowboy is an enduring motif in Hollywood films, which has in recent years been reconsidered through a more contemporary lens, raising issues of gender, identity and social history. Jann Haworth recalls seeing her first rodeo in 1956 and, for her, the rodeo cowboy is a 'fossil of the imperfect/perfect Great American Myth! Cowboy is one of her earliest soft-sculpture figures, depicting a macho subject in a material commonly perceived as feminine.“

Bell Tower

Cathedral

One of these things is not the same

Chichester still boasts an encircling Roman wall which has been restored with a walking path – After our time in the cathedral we completed the short, 1½-mile circuit.
