...to the Chapter House at Wells cathedral. Probably better on large view if you have a moment.
Taken during our away-week in October, not as shown.
Not long after I realised how much I enjoy structure, shape, architecure and such, I recalled this amazing flight of steps but I could never bring to mind where I'd seen it , so when I came across it in the cathedral at Wells, I was very happy indeed.
The steps on the right that seem to grow out of the others maybe don't make a lot of sense ; they lead to yet another area in the cathedral but I didn't manage to get a good angle to show the door. It's what's stopped me posting this until now but I love this view to bits and recently had a re-think and decided to put this photo into the album and b****r the door. It wasn't part of my memory anyway.

This is a most amazing image!!! The lines and shapes and the light at the top of the stairs....it is all just amazing! Wonderful composition and works wo well in B&W. FAV
The sweep of the stairs is really stunning, great in b/w. I don't think it needs a close up view. The lovely sweep and swirl works well and further view has depth like this. Fav
I don't know how I missed this one - what a really neat composition of lines - The perspective you chose is perfect and including the woman seems to be just right. It doesn't take anything away from those steps and where they lead. Love the shot and see why it stuck with you.
Another fav from me! Such an interesting shot. I think the door you were trying to get may have complicated the scene too much anyway??? I like the lead up to the woman as the focus!
Oh Wow, Alison congratulations on TT. You see I take a couple of days off from commenting and this happens; so happy for you Alison and it is a fabulous shot. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, I will surface once Annabelle goes home (hopefully) Cx
Yes. Beautifully captured. There is definitely the feel of the "decisive moment" in this one. Nice work. I love that view too. They are a great flight of stairs. I have one of that stunning ceiling in the Chapter chamber where the twelve seats are.
So here's something crazy. I remember seeing this photo and commenting and fav'ing it. But for some reason neither are on here. Crazy. So fav again. Brilliant capture.
I love this shot and its so good in black and white too. There's no where on those stairs to get the best of the steps and door together and you've done amazingly here. I have spent a lot of time taking various photos of Wells Cathedral - if you ever get to do a high tour it is well worth it
