Makes me think of how many different people have rubbed their hand over the wood. Lovely contrast of the red. Another coup for 365 making us look a little deeper at things.
A couple of years ago I spent a long w/e @ Winchester with 2 girl friends. High on my list were W Cathedral & College. Neither were disappointing. 2 mornings @ Matins in the side chapels, warmly welcomed by the regulars were uplifting experiences. We were 3 for the tour of the College and benefited by seeing aspects not shown to large groups. Wonderful guide, fascinating history and customs...if you can, do go!
Thank you - what a nice observation.
David, thank you. I was on the hunt for red - and found quite a lot in the cathedral.
I like your philosophical comment! The wood certainly looks well worn.
