Lichfield Cathedral

…with Swan Pool and Speakers Corner in the foreground. Good to see the scaffolding on the main spire coming down now.

Lovely capture- beautiful pov & the sky is gorgeous

I went there as a child on a school trip. Looks like a lot of work has been done on the cathedral.

[Susan Wakely]

Nice to see blue sky.

[KV]

What an iconic looking cathedral.

[Phil Howcroft]

I look forward to seeing the scaffolding disappear

[Heather]

A lovely shot with the spires against the blue sky and the sun on the red brick! You even captured a bird (a hawk ?) soaring in the sky. Great composition, too, Lesley! Fav

My brother-in-law and his wife live in Lichfield. Fine cathedral, but often thought it could do with a clean, but the stones are very soft.

@365projectorgheatherb Unlikely to be hawk here, Heather. We have buzzards but nothing bigger than that here. Much more likely to be a gull.

@phil_howcroft I do too, Phil. It’s been a while. It seems they are working from the top down as the whole spire was covered in scaffolding not long ago. I’m not sure if they will be moving on to the other spires.

[Lesley]

@wakelys Agreed. It’s been a while.

[Lesley]

@g3xbm I imagine that’s part of the current renovation plan.

[Heather]

@tinley23 Thanks, Lesley :)

[Corinne C]

Great perspective

[Carole Sandford]

Great capture! There always seems to be some part of our cathedral with scaffolding! A bit like “ painting the forth bridge” I think!

[Delwyn Barnett]

I guess with such huge buildings the maintenance almost starts again before it is finished!

[Diana]

Beautifully composed and captured. I should imagine it takes forever to get everything done.
