November 8, 2011 - Arched windows

From exactly the same position I was stood in yesterday I move lightly right and look up. Its always good advice to look up when walking round any place as some of the most interesting views are above eye level.I love all the different styles of arches over all the windows.

October 20, 2011 - Grey’s Monument Week: Emerson Chambers and Fenwicks

A shot of Emerson Chambers from the top of Grey’s Monument is always going to be nicely different to those taken from the ground, but the shots I took at first just didn’t seem interesting enough. Then, I turned my camera at an angle, and hey presto - this Tenin-esque shot. I’m really pleased with it.

October 19, 2011 - Grey’s Monument week - Nicholas and Grey

Looking roughly south towards the river. Grey Street is to the bottom left; you can see the beautiful curve. You can see one of the domes of Central Arcade (which, incidentally, was the subject of the first picture ever posted on this site (although the ‘green twiddly bit’ is just a twiddly bit here) and the spire of St Nicholas’ Cathedral. The Castle Keep is also visible to the left of the cathedral, but it’s hard to distinguish in black and white.

October 18, 2011 - Two picture Tuesday - Monument windows

As I mentioned in yesterday’s comments, there are slitted windows all the way up the tower. I’m glad they’ve now installed electric lighting (! - would have been horrible to climb without a bit more light) but it was nice to get regular glimpses of the view - and to have an excuse to stop!

It was really hard to choose which window view to go for! I chose this one because it’s a bit different to the shots from the top - a different height to both top and bottom and varied lighting.

This is the 1700th post. Less than a year to get to 2,000 :) Does someone want to work out what date that’ll be so we can plan the party now?!?
