Going home after Evensong by judithg

Going home after Evensong

Rubbish photo I'm afraid but great subject. King's College Choir boys (and those of St John's) work very hard. They are committed to a lot of practice, sung Evensong most week nights (check it's the full choir if you plan a visit) and two services on Sundays. It's worth going to Cambridge during the school term times as anybody can go to Evensong and generally sit close enought to see the choir perform flawlessly in their spectacular surroundings.
The boys head home (back to boarding school) at the same time as my friend Sarah and I are driving to photography class - so we've been stalking them!! I'm hoping to get them walking through the College one evening - they are used to being photographed and are very polite but I was too embarrassed to harangue them at this point so the shot's taken through Sarah's car window. Hoping to post a better photo soon but just in case it doesn't happen here are the boys looking like they are having fun.
Great photo of a historic choir . Still typical boys.
