WOW!
Taken from one of the famous towers. Ultra touristy today, I remember a whole class given over to Professor Christopher N L Brooke's holiday slides from here! Better than our usual class on Medieval Europe! (Although I'm being unfair to the good professor, he was a superb teacher, as well as a good and successful writer of history, my three favourite books of his; The 12th Century Renaissance, The Saxon and Norman Kings and Europe in the Central Middle Ages. I still dip into them from time to time).
Be that as it may, this is a superb shot, Howard!

Thanks. It was ultra-touristy even then. My wife and I used to go to Europe in April to avoid the tourist hordes, but instead of tourists found these place spoiled by endless coachloads of rowdy schoolchildren.

A pity I can't be there now and take the identical view using a modern digicam and a better and wider lens than the mediocre 28-70mm zoom I used in those days.
