Exploring Winchester
As someone who enjoys looking at other people’s pictures, I am a fairly keen member of Flickr. One of the very positive outcomes of this is my new-found friends belonging to a local group. So, we set off last Sunday on a photo-walk around Winchester. As soon as we arrived, so did the sun. It wasn’t expected, so the cameras were adjusted and the clicking began.
The Cathedral was as magnificent as I remembered. We didn’t go in, as the outside had so much to offer.
Gothic in appearance with ornate spires and some evil-looking gargoyles gaping down at us.
This lovely old tree, set in the Cathedral gardens was up for some hugging.
As we set off for The Great Hall, there were tempting doorways to explore. So much fun when you are with fellow camera geeks.
And there it was; King Arthur’s table.
I found this stunning gate as interesting. Such drama.
Back in town, looking for lunch, we came across a busker who caught our attention with his excellent songs. I thought he sounded like Eric Clapton….a bit.
A splendid day out. So glad we went. Could well have been on my Bucket List.
OK, when you get here, you need to find us a similar camera group. I’d love to do this too. Hope they don’t laugh when I pull out my Sony Cyber-shot. lol
My favourite shot is the Great Hall one, with the steps and door.
Is that the famous knights of the round table, table, hanging on the wall ? Are those their names written around the edge ?

Hi Sybil, and yes to all of the above. We will find some Geeks in NS and walk our socks off!

I like your trees here, but I especially like the stairs and that wooden door…and the musician, and the little girl. Nice pics, Lynn! I have been happy to “see” you again. Will you get snow where you are this winter?
