The Heavens

We had a lovely day today with my very old best school friend Monica and her family. After lunch Rachel took us out punting and we pulled over at the ice cream punt for Ben & Jerry's. As I looked over my shoulder at King's College I realised that it wouldn't be ice cream weather for long. The Chapel positively shone and although it isn't normally great taking the shot from the river I was lucky this couple was walking past and made the angle a bit more funky.
Thanks for the nice comments on my neighbour's car - somehow people have much fonder memories of old cars they've owned than modern models.
wow fantastic shot!

This chapel looks very impressive !!! Lovely angle to show the stone work off against the dark sky too ! Or is it granite.. could be as it looks so white !

beautifully seen Judith, love that sky, love the framing of the couple walking out of the frame...without the people the shot is just a college pic, with them it's got context, human interest and a sense of reality ..super :)

Off on my jollies so no commenting for a week !

Gosh this is stunning Judith, sounds like a lovely day too.

Sounds like a nice day. That sky is seriously dark. I've never been punting, it sounds fun though.
August 29th, 2011  
Fantastic contrasts!

I always love shot of this chapel.

This is a great shot of Kings - really striking how the dark sky brings out that pale stonework and makes it glow
