Yes I hope so too John ;-)) Always seems to be scaffolding somewhere, but good to see them keeping the building safe and beautiful.

A nice open approach to the cathedral and unusual cathedral precincts are not normally that large, the clouds look rather ominous I hope you kept dry. I hope your day is going well Rosalyn after a wet start it's been a nice day and warm

I think this green is a little bigger than at Salisbury Cathedral Peter. It did seem so to me. We had no rain, despite the heavy clouds. In fact it was quite warm as well. We even sat outside with our coffee and snacks!

Hello Beatrice, thank you so much for your kind comments. We often wish for sunshine but sometimes the clouds can make an interesting picture ;-))
Best wishes, Rosa.

Two great shots of the Cathedral and Green, Rosa. The figures in front of the Cathedral add a sense of scale and show the vastness of this magnificent edifice. Cheers, Joe

That is a fantastic looking cathedral.........................a shame about the scaffolding but there's nothing to be done about that. It doesn't detract from the photo too much.

Such a wonderful lush green space in front of the cathedral...........just the place for jousting, cricket matches and fetes!

Two superb images! Great work.

Always a bit of a disappointment when the scaffolding is up, but also good to see the restoration and upkeep going on. I wouldn't be surprised if they had events on the green Keith. I will have to keep an eye out for that!
Thank you very much for your kind comments.

A photo of the green from this side is unusual but it looks very good! I should look both ways more often...I assume we can expect more scaffolding on the cathedral in the coming years, but as long as it's restricted to such a small area it doesn't detract from the beauty of the facade.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Gudrun club
I wasn't sure if it would work Gudrun, with the large expanse of green, but the buildings surrounding it show up quite well. I am pleased you like it, thank you. Yes probably an ongoing thing with the scaffolding. I seems it was put there quite recently as it wasn't there in Jeff's photo taken in August.

Great view across the lush sea of green Rosa. The figures on the path help with the scale of the view. It is a shame about the scaffolding but it does not detract too much for the beauty of the building.

All the best, Doug

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Thank you very much Doug. I almost didn't upload the picture with the scaffolding, but then I thought it would be good to show the ongoing work that such an ancient building needs.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Certainly very green grass considering the dry summer we had, and a fascinating sky too. What really works for me is the lawnmower lines in the grass which kind of lead the eye into the picture. Very clever!!

Best wishes

Hi Peter,

The grass soon picks up after a little or lots of rain in most cases ;-)
Thank you so much for your kind comments.

Best regards, Rosa.
