The Cathedral of St John, Norwich
A lot of people seem to be unaware that there are two cathedrals in Norwich. Last Friday afternoon, I was walking along Earlham Road when, on a whim, I decided to go and explore inside this fantastic Victorian/Edwardian gothic building (completed in 1910).
It was about five-o-clock when I walked inside. The light therein was fabulously atmospheric, and I soon realised that I was the only person in this, the main part of the cathedral.
It was a strange feeling to be alone inside such a huge building. I was struck by the peace and quiet - especially as, immediately outside, the rush hour traffic was at its height.
I was also struck by the difference this late afternoon winter ambience made to the look, and feel, of the cathedral

ReplyDeleteSir, your photographic image of the columns bathed in light are a triumph, a triumph I tell you. Damn fine work there.
ReplyDeleteI must also commend you upon your resolve to withdraw from the yuletide rush and delve into Rambler country - sir, a true Rambler. Why I even think the Society would bestow the age old gong upon you - namely 'Rambler of the month' for keeping the true spirit alive.
Huzzah, huzzah!
Dear Tom,
ReplyDeleteYes, I was very fortunate to savour this experience. As ever, thank you for commenting.
Huzzah!
