A Winter's walk can always turn up the unexpected. Here, we see a rare day of light snow and hoarfrost mixed with a little blue sky and wondrous light. The figure, whom I have named Alice, is seen here taking her dog to see the light too.

For me a rare sight as this Cumulonimbus heads towards us over the Mediterranean here in West Cyprus heralding a great storm. "Cumulonimbus is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. If observed during a storm, these clouds may be referred to as thunderheads. Cumulonimbus can form alone, in clusters, or along cold front squall lines." Wikipedia

The crossing and the choir vaults are made from wood, the nave (right) has a stone vault. Die Vierung und der Chor haben Holzdecken, während das Langhaus ein steinernes Gewölbe hat. The transepts retain the Norman style of the late 11th century. Die Querschiffe sind im ursprünglichen romanischen Stil des späten 11. Jh erhalten.
