12th Century St Mary's Church, Templecombe, Somerset. Liked the simplicity of this window, exposure +1.7 stops, exposed for the window, so much shadow extraction in the upper ceiling area which was totally black in the original. OK in colour, black and white conversion nice but looked a little cold and soulless. So added varied amounts of sepia/brown (more on the wooden ceiling) |

Beautiful in its simplicity! I love images like this one of church windows! |

Thank you Ann - not entirely sure of the picture's success but not too bad either, considering and I was using my standard and slow 16-85mm too. But I do like to get some reasonable record shots of every village church I find myself in, if nothing else to just have a record of them. I usually find that I have ten or fifteen minutes before a bus (or train), so why not and a pound in the collection box for them does no harm whatsoever either! |

There is something very appealing and peaceful about these old churches. I can never resist going in either, even though they are so totally different from the church I go to. |

A lot of people still go to great lengths to keep them clean, polish the brass etc and make them look nice. They are also probably elderly and gives them pride and joy and a reason to get out and about.
After a 8 to 10 mile circular walk on mostly footpaths to the west of Templecombe (the countryside is pure Dairy farm, nothing touristy or remarkable but lush green English pasture with little villages), got train back to Gillingham, met up with a friend to show him the camera and early lunch (for me), then bus up to Shaftesbury. Did the usual viewpoints but it was hazy but still looked gorgeous, of course. Then did the Gold Hill Museum, which is free, and which had been closed when I went before (only open between April and Sept), yet more photos of Gold Hill. The bus back to the station is only two hourly, so had to wait until 4.30, via a delicious shop-made chocolate 'heaven' ice cream (even the cone was heaven!). But still got to see bits of the town I had not seen before, which is always nice. By the time I got home, I'd been out for over 12 hours, quite enough, really, so a long day. |

Phew! That does sound like quite a day! I think I'd be fitting in a late siesta, if I were you!
I didn't know there was a Gold Hill museum - I'll have to look out for it next time I go to Shaftesbury! |

It's at the very top, on the left, as you look down. Lovely garden there too.
Waiting for the start of the Salisbury Arts Festival now, starting this evening - have to see how the weather behaves! |
