Salisbury - NOT amateur radio

 


I do not think I posted this photo of Salisbury last week. If I did, put it down to old age!

Doom painting detail - NOT amateur radio


Earlier this week I posted a photo of a "doom"  painting in a local church in Salisbury. It was painted centuries ago before many could read or write. I expect many in the congregation looked at the painting and thought about hell and purgatory.  

The whole painting reminds me of Bosch. It was whitewashed out by the "thought police" and rediscovered in the 1800s. Attached is a small part of the painting in detail.

Salisbury walk - NOT amateur radio


We went to Salisbury mainly to see the cathedral, but it was a very nice place to visit. On 2 occasions we did a lovely walk though the water meadows, where John Constable painted on many occasions.

Head for heights? - NOT amateur radio


This man was way up the tower of Salisbury Cathedral. I have no idea what he was doing.
