Mr Gormley Again

Another trip to Winchester Cathedral,and we were told the crypt was flooded, locked and out of bounds. Tom said he'd unlock the door to show us how deep the water was, and a couple of guides wanted to join us. The water level had in fact fallen about a foot, so the very nice Tom let us go down into the crypt, but not to pass the bottom step, which was dry.

The statue had been up to his groin in flood water, the wall to the right of him shows how much it had fallen.
Just compared all three if your images - fascinating to see the difference in water levels.

That's an excellent image - the architecture, the reflections - and then that wonderful statue stranded in the flood waters. So good.

@365anne hi Anne. I do a screen shot, crop and save in pictures. I use PhotoscapeX to insert the words. on a tablet Snapseed can do it. Both are free, but you may have an editting program already??

Sad about the flooding, but a fantastic pic!

The circumstances are unfortunate but the resulting image is very worthy.

@vignouse couldn't see image on camera, pointed and hoped for best when I clicked!!!
@overalvandaan it's flooded since being built centuries ago
@momamo it's quite an iconic shot for winchester
@jyokota lucky!! Couldn't see what camera was viewing, so took a punt and it worked!!
@wendyfrost I'd like to get him when he's only up to his ankles and have a full reflection
@tonyrogers Tim was a very nice helpful person!!!
@olivetreeann I've never had the tour into the crypt when it's dry, not sure anyones in there these days
@randystreat fluke and luck and clever point and shoot
@suesmith is have loved to see it up the steps, but then wouldn't have got This!!
@robz William the Conquerer started building it in 1068, it nearly fell down in 1900s and is still, a bit wonky
@koalagardens it's z great sight to see
@wakelys love it there
@casablanca it's dry in summer, must vidit it then

@30pics4jackiesdiamond -- It's so fun when luck works out, but I bet you had a feel for the scene already.
