Another Cathedral, and quite the most astonishing structure. I was first taken here one Sunday afternoon after lunch when I was a boy at prep school, by John Cornwell (aka Le Carré!) and his then wife in the late 1960s, have been back several times since, and remain in awe. This time I was with my son and daughter-in-law and my baby grand daughter, who had had a procedure in Bristol the day before, and it proved a haven of peace.
The wonderful Chapter House staircase, the 'sea of steps', is far more difficult to photograph than the eponymous 1903 photograph by Frederick H.Evans, and later efforts by Edwin Smith and others, would suggest, with a confusion of converging (and diverging) verticals and horizontals. For these I used both a Nikon Df with a cumbersome 24-70 zoom (the first two) and my Huawei spyphone. I also had a Nikon FE2 with a 35mm and HP5, but I haven't processed those yet.
