Fit for a Queen. by happypat

Fit for a Queen.

I took my P&S camera into the camera shop in Lancaster today but I'm afraid it's beyond repair......he described it as ''well used'' !!!

While I was there I had a mooch round the castle & was lucky to catch a wedding at the Priory Church which is right next to Lancaster Castle.
I waited until I thought the bridal car was in the perfect position ....would have been better without the tourists waiting to see inside.

Three good things:
1. I missed the car park attendant by about four cars!!!
2. It's raining....I never thought that would be one of my good things!
3. Harry has planted six rows of potatoes.
4. My youngest brother's birthday.
That looks rather splendid indeed Pat!!! Grace and I watched 3 episodes of "Downton" on CD in bed this morning before the football tournament....rather grand!! we enjoyed it very much...3 more for tomo am and then we have finished the set!

Fabulous looking building. Interesting how some of the stone work looks aged and some cleaned.

A wonderful castle and what a place to get married!

Lovely shot. Great framing with the tree. The shop assistant was very polite "Well used" sounds much better than ........

Nice combination of historic building and classic car, and the framing of trees completes the picture.

@gerry Thank you Gerry, I use my P&S rather more than my DSLR so am not happy.... will have to buy another but which one I wonder!!!! I lied my Cannon 95s but it was able to shoot in RAW & I don't have any interest in that so would rather have a bigger zoom lens. Will have to check out Amazon!!

The car adds to the feel of this shot

Nice use of the trees as a frame. Your old p&s has served you well - I hope you'll give it a good send-off!
April 13th, 2013  
Very nice shot. Love the framing.
April 14th, 2013  
Beautiful detail and framing

Great to see this castle in Lancaster - we didn't in the brief time we were there years ago! This is a wonderful old car - the word Packham comes into my mind!
April 14th, 2013  
Wonderfully framed! Love the wedding car--

My p&s died when Vivian dropped it on the tiled kitchen floor!! Not sure if I will buy another though, have got so used to hauling the big one around!! Have just lit the fire for b&bs breakfast, no sign of spring down south!! I love Lancaster Castle........well done getting the splendid car!!
April 14th, 2013  
Great framing. Lovely building
April 14th, 2013  
A castle! Terrific shot!
April 14th, 2013  
A lovely visual
April 14th, 2013  
Lovely shot. Perfect timing with the car!
April 14th, 2013  
A lovely composition. I like how you have framed the castle with the trees. A good place to visit.
April 14th, 2013  
lovely shot here Pat, I have a few P&S's that are not that old but are definitely feeling the effects of 365!! and hurrah to missing the car park attendant; that kind of luck doesn't happen often!
April 14th, 2013  
Pat, nice POV and well framed by those green trees ....a new P&S then ???
April 14th, 2013  
@phil_howcroft Oh definitely Phil i can't cart this big camera around all the time, far too conspicuous!!! will try & at least put it in a case in my bag this time!!!
April 14th, 2013  
Ooo how fun! Definitely a Downton car!!! Perhaps a headstrong young Irishman driving!!! Great shot, Pat - fun to look at large.
April 15th, 2013  
Looks like a lovely spot for a wedding and nice car. SHame about your camera - better than having one 'un-used'!
April 15th, 2013  
What a fantastic venue for a wedding , a wonderful shot, btw thank you for your comments pat I am afraid I have got behind with 365 busy with Beth & and Jane over to stay.
April 15th, 2013  
I just love this! Such a totally British scene. And such a spectacular venue for a wedding. So sorry about your p&s camera, Pat. I'm afraid mine is heading in that direction too.
April 17th, 2013  
What a wonderful spot for a wedding. Nice shot
April 18th, 2013  
Wonderful building, love the detail in the stone work when viewed large.
