Norwich Cathedral

Art Glass

 

 

Among the first things to catch my eye at Norwich Cathedral were these windows. Interesting contrast in styles and subjects, don't you think?

 

"The medieval stained glass windows in the cathedral, which was largely destroyed during the English Reformation, sustained further damage during the English Civil War. The glass in the west window [shown below] was designed by George Hedgeland, and was installed in 1854." -- Wikipedia

Norwich Cathedral

Back now in the States after my choir tour of England. First singing engagement was evensong at Norwich Cathedral. Found the map above to be helpful in navigating my way around the place. I first entered the complex through that gate shown at the bottom and in the center just left of the tower.

Local Art

Flying out of Dulles two weeks ago, 

I spotted this display of art works created by local high school students. 

Quite striking, I thought.

Women's March

Eight years ago today, I participated in and photographed what was then considered one of the largest, if not the largest, demonstrations in U. S. history, the Women's March on Washington.

Hydroelectric Plant

The remains of a now abandoned hydroelectric plant in Belle Isle.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, friends! Hope you had a restful night :-) and aren't too tired to make a new beginning. I'm starting this new year of photographs with this one taken last Friday along the James River's famed "fall line."  According to Wikipedia:

"The fall line marks the geologic boundary of hard metamorphosed terrain—the product of the Taconic orogeny—and the sandy, relatively flat alluvial plain of the upper continental shelf, formed of unconsolidated Cretaceous and Cenozoic sediments. Examples of Fall Zone features include the Potomac River's Little Falls and the rapids in Richmond, Virginia, where the James River falls across a series of rapids down to its own tidal estuary."
