Trinity Lane

Thank you from Monty for all the lovely comments and expressions of concern - he would like you all to know that while he won't wear Santa hats he wouldn't say no to one of those woolly ones with ear flaps...
I had to get my old Cambridge A-Z out to check the name of this lane which leads to the 'pay' entrance of King's College Chapel withClare College and part of Trinity Hall on the right. Another rather dismal day in Cambridge so I've gone mad with the contrast for a bit of interest. BBC Outside Broadcast vans are camped outside the front of King's Chapel ready for Nine Lessons and Carols on Christmas Eve. A friend of mine was in there last week for the filming of the Easter Service for the BBC - apparently it was freezing!

I like the composition and contrast in this. It sort of says "we two are here in this lane and the rest of the world is an afterthought."

[Alison Tomlin]

Nice silhouettes of the figures against the chapel in the background. Rubbish day here too. It's barely got light at all.

[Cherrill]

It is indeed a gloomy day but the architecture is always fab! I like the lift of light on the wet ground too. Don't you just love the Nine lessons and Carols? It's part of my growing up and its when you prepare your vegetables with it on the radio..........sigh......

[Richard Tyson]

great street scene, love the architecture

[claire teuber]

Looks like this scene is from another time. Great shot!

[Janna E.]

I just never get tired of the Cambridge architecture :). If it's any comfort to you - our snow is gone again and we have more rain today, too.

[Sabrina]

I would love to visit Cambridge one day. Love the architecture and what I've seen through all our great photos. You have only 10 days left, Judith. Any plans for a second year?

[Liz (fotomama)]

Lovely shot- great color

[Judith Johnson]

You got a great photo for a truly miserable day .

[Cindi C]

Love this!

[Jane Pittenger]

Nice lighting and I love the architecture and the lane inviting

[Pat Knowles]

I just feel I am walking down this lane myself & it's so inviting drawing you down to see what is round the bend . Wonderful lighting & contrast & I love the wet cobbles too !! Easter service before Nine Lessons, how funny is life !!! Congratulations to Monty on being a star !!!

I like this picture, I like the warmth of the stonework even on a damp day, the reflections from the rain add to it too.

[Matt Clendon]

I love the shadows, contrasts and the tones in this, Judith. A fav for me because there's something about the scene that I really like. I think it may be the the blue tinge around the figures.

I love the shadows, contrasts and the tones in this, Judith. A fav for me because there's something about the scene that I really like. I think it may be the blue tinge/glow around the figures.

[Juliette Packham]

Great shot Judith - love the depth and the contrasts (my favourite tool at the moment!) have caught the weather mood here well!

[KeithD]

Good photo Judith. Very much a case of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat with this dismal weather!! What we need is frost and snow! I will be in Cambridge on Thursday with my camera to see what I can come up with.

[ottery]

Lovely photo of the contrasting brick colours

[june milner]

Love your colour work here. very atmospheric picture. you created.

[Mary Tjeerdsma]

Love the processing and the textures in the picture. I would love to take a walk by those buildings!

[bernadette mcelligott]

This looks great, the colours of the building are really nice.

[Peggy Sirk]

Exquisite shot...simply dripping in history and tradition ~ and rain. The rainy day gives this a delightful moody feel. Beautiful!

[Shanne]

lovely processing and composition, great architecture

[Judith Greenwood]

@Cherrill Me too - I'll have the giblet gravy simmering, mince pies baking, King's on the radio and Delia open at the relevant page! I love the fact that it's just down the road but being enjoyed around the world.

[Judith Greenwood]

@sabrinaromahn Yes - I'll carry on until I get completely stuck for ideas!

[Lisa Conrad]

Lovely shot. I like how the tips of the chapel disappear into the sky. Your photos make me want to go back to Cambridge.

[peter/zipp]

like all the shadow-lightness going on judith, and congrats on The Monty shot.

[John]

Lovely tones and architecture in this shot.

[Barbara Paquette]

I love how you pulled a warm glow of the buildings at the ground, but the spires are so ethereal.

[Phil Howcroft]

wow judith the tones and textures are super here...and it's a super POV with the narrow road leading us into the frame. It does look like it may have had a bit of a @sparkle juliette post processing technique applied..I don't know what you've done but I like it
