Salisbury Cathedral

[NightHawk]

Went for a drive to Salisbury today, the first time we've been here - about 30 miles away.

Didn't have much time for a really thorough look, but managed to get to the Cathedral.

I took a lot of photos of the exterior so have posted just a few here.  Many of the photos are of the statues standing on plinths all around the facia of the cathedral.  Far too many to show here, and would have to be of a large enough size anyway to show their detail.  (Eric will know what I mean  )  Plus, I don't know who any of them are to be of any historical value 

Didn't get to do a tour of the inside    Maybe next time.


There's restoration work ongoing, as can be seen by the scaffolding on the left.

Great photos Laurie. Eric will be pleased

Thanks George.

There were actually a lot of tourists in my original shots, but I decided to do a bit of work in Photoshop and edited them out 

Makes for a less distracting shot

Gosh! You've done a real good job to get the visitors to "step aside"
I'm impressed with your Photoshop skills Laurie

Great shots Laurie. Why is it the sun always seems to be in the wrong direction? I am often finding that.

Exactly the case here too Eric.

Fortunately, it was masked by a dark cloud at the time so I got away with it.  It was behind the spire at the time, so I would have had a big problem otherwise.
